LuxSci has offered an “Xpress” WebMail portal for many years. The portal is fast, simple, and works with most devices because it does not use any JavaScript or cookies, and uses few images. The Xpress portal is good for security, privacy, and access from legacy devices, as well as over very slow connections.
