Something to check into: A LONG time ago, some email providers had a "simple" or "basic" view / page, to login. It was a separate URL, that may or may not have required js, IIRC. For gmail, the "basic" login page didn't require html, either. That may be no more, but at least you could ask -

Java + Tor = bad Javascript in Tor browser bundle + Tor = probably OK. Ideally, you won't be using javascript, but as others have said, many mail services require javascript for more interactive and fancy UIs, and that's OK. What you *don't* want running with Tor is Java. Java is a virtual machin

His subj. said java script, but in the message he said Java. Not many, if any web mails REQUIRE java. But many sites, incl. many web mails need js - at least to login. You might be able to get around w/o js, once logged in. There's no way around not using js, on some sites, if you want it to

In trying to access an email, web based, the service said that java has to be enabled. What's the best course of action here? Will enabling java create an IP leak or in some way defeat the purpose of using Tor to access the mail? Does Tor browser bundle even have the ability to use java? . --
