Xpress WebMail Portal Released

Tuesday, March 18th, 2003

LuxSci has produced a new alternate web interface for your WebMail and account management. The Xpress members’ portal differs from the standard “Full” members’ portal in that:

  • It does not use cookies at all
  • It does not use JavaScript at all
  • It uses only minimal graphics
  • It is compatible with more types of web browsers.

So, the Xpress members portal is useful for you:

  • If you have a slow Internet connection, it will be much faster than the Standard portal
  • If you use an old or non-mainstream web browser, it may look better and work more correctly than the Standard portal
  • If you are worried about security issues involving JavaScript, you can turn JavaScript off and the Xpress portal will work just fine.
  • If you are worried about privacy issues involving cookies, you can turn cookies off and the Xpress portal will work just fine.

The only down side of the Xpress portal is that is somewhat less user friendly and does not support all of the features of the Standard portal, because of the explicit lack of JavaScript.
