storage.

It doesn't work. I tried it. I started applying for an account
Saturday, and on Sunday it finally approved my account, and let me
set my password, which it accepted, then when I tried to log in to
WebMail it rejected my password that's identical what I had told it
and it had accepted just two minutes earlier.
To anyone else reading this thread: Do you know of any free
Web-accessible e-mail that works properly from Unix VT100 dialup
shell accounts via lynx
(no JavaScript, no images, no frames but frames emulated by menu
linking to each frame separately, tables don't format correctly,
forms work fine via both GET and POST method)?
HotMail never worked ever since day one. It still doesn't work.
Requires JavaScript to login.
Yahoo worked off and on, really good in 2000, then tolerably good
2001-2004.Apr, then not at all 2004.May to 2007.May, then the
2001-2004.Apr version "classic" available again by special trick,
but is currently converting all accounts to "streamlined clasic"
which no longer works decently, i.e. terrible formatting and no way
to see full headers.
Gmail doesn't work, allows login and seeing list of messages within
each category, but provides no way to see the text of an individual
message, so what's the point?
Lycos works fine except that it doesn't provide any way to see full
headers.
isp2dial doesn't work at all, rejects my password for login after
it accepted the same password for account registration.
Any others I should try?

You're fumbling your password. I'm the admin, and I was able to log
in using your account and password.
I deleted your account, you can start over. I recommend choosing a
password that's all lowercase and easier to type without fumbling.

The webmail at isp2dial was not designed with the text mode user in
mind. It will work with lynx, without javascript, but for more than
simple tasks, it will be cumbersome in text mode.
I don't think you will find any webmail interface designed for text
mode users. Those days are gone.

Correct.

Fact not in evidence. Maybe I'll try it again, but see later below.

I accept your confession.

You are quite mistaken on that point. I got an account on
fastmail.us, have my SpamGourmet mail forwarded there, and
everything has worked just fine there, even the ability to see full
headers without needing to go to a JavaScript system. So
fastmail.us (and presumably the several other domains managed
worldwide by the same service) have kept those days alive!!
Would anyone like to see my comparison of *all* the various
Web-accessible SMTP-based e-mail systems I tried during that burst
of trying one after another until I found one (fastmail) that
actually worked for me?
