[Alpine-info] Gmail Access

[Karen Lewellen via Alpine-info]

Steve,
I am going to slot into your idea the situation Marc raised from the 
start.
If you were using adaptive technology, either due to blindness, or 
paraplegia, or   any comparative situation, how would you effortlessly and 
independently host your own email?
Will leave my question there.
After all, some on this list  suddenly found themselves at risk of losing 
years worth of information when google took the basic html choice away.
So, putting yourself in the place of Marc's  friend here, how would you 
just move your stuff inclusively?
Just curious,
Karen
