Hi Dave!
That is a shame indeed. Not only filling a captcha is required to open the
account but also to login to the webmail service.
If you have a friend that can help you fill the captcha when you open an
account you can then use their service with a client like icedove or claws
mail.
I sent them a mail about the requirement of filling a captcha when loging
into an account when using the webamil service. I can understand a need for
one when signing up for a new account but needing to fill a captcha each time
one wants to log in is unnecessary and it is a problem for many people with
visual impairment.
cheers
