As I physically cannot use Linux outside of the shell services I use, that
door is possible, just not from my desktop.
I do have a question though.
Does your configuration give you total access to email contents, folders
sent mail, contact lists and the like?
I may need to pay someone to do the configuring for me here at shellworld
for my gmail account.

Did they state a reason? Maintenance burden? Or just better security?
Because email was always plain text and pretty insecure.
Realistically, I wonder if there are supported Chromebooks for sale
with good accessibility options for basic tasks (emails, word
processing, browsing the web). (In some ways, I feel they aren't
tested well or aren't supported for long or just scattered in obscure
locations with little promotion.)
A second option would be a command line browser tool that substituted
for the gmail interface, but that, if I could not use it directly from
DOS, could be set up in the Ubuntu shell I have with shellworld.
I assume Ubuntu is much, much better supported. Surely somebody on
Linux (or BSD) does email via terminal / commandline.
My question is this.
is there a DOS only based email client, in freedos, in djppp or something
that might meet this need?
Text-based? Probably not. Though I always say it's not impossible ...
but, in reality, there are so few DJGPP volunteers that a lot doesn't
get done.
Georg Potthast did a graphical (FLTK) FLmail a while back. I never
tested it (and it's probably somewhat unstable), but I bet that mostly
works.
