Group: Free Software Webmail Systems

This page is a place to find and share resources for people interested in doing their email on the Web without compromising their freedom. There are a variety of good choices for free software webmail.

• Gmail: You can sign in and use Gmail without non-free Javascript, but you have to make the account in a special way, through https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount. This is an old sign-up form; the currently recommended sign-up form is no good, since it requires nonfree Javascript code.

• Mail.ru: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly.

• Fastmail: Sign up, sign in, and webmail all work smoothly. This is a paid service with a 60-day free trial.

• Some services will let you sign up and sign in without non-free Javascript, and use IMAP/POP3 from a desktop program, but have broken webmail:
  • Vfemail.net
  • Safe-mail.net
  • Shortmail.com

Please add your own finds to the list. If you know of a webmail system that may not qualify for the list, please discuss it in the Talk page for this article.
