Much of the time, I can't even see a cursor in this webmail interface, making 
it difficult to see where I am.

As webmail and other services doctor web addresses to track users' clicks, 
there is much room for bugs when it becomes so complicated even the webmaster 
messes it up.

But I can still use nonweb mail clients such as msmtp (msmtp.sourceforge.net) 
and mpop (mpop.sourceforge.net) and a text editor such as vi (standard part of 
Unix and quasi-Unix OSes).  That requires an installed OS on hard drive or 
other bootable readable-writable drive such as USB stick.  I believe msmtp and 
mpop are supposed to be usable even on DOS (such as FreeDOS) and Windows, 
meaning it should work for ReactOS.
