Is there any way around this? Even a web-based program that can let me access my email accounts from within one page/interface? I have tried so many webmail accounts that offer 'external pop3 access' but none of them work with my gmail account because it uses a secure POP3 port (995).
If you are able to use ssh (secure shell) on your system, you could ssh to a remote system and then run pine or mutt on that remote system to access your POP3 accounts. If you need a shell account, I maintain a list here:

One that a lot of people like is:

Remote shell-based email is the old-fashioned way of having a mobile, available-everywhere, "web-based" email.
Hope this helps, Nancy
