I won't say that I haven't poked around a little, but to do what would be necessary to bring the systems up to date would also involve violating sections 342.1 and 430 (1.1) of the Canadian Criminal Code - something I see no need to do just to check e-mail

That's one of the reasons why I maintain my own services (mail, web, file storage, etc), I know my systems will always be usable by any browser or system, I even use an old 16-bit browser as part of my QC testing - just to be sure my systems are accessible from pretty much any system - from anywhere.
