I used IMP (the webmail part of Horde) travelling through Vietnam the
year before last and had major problems with a dodgy piece of
Javascript that would reload the entire index while I was waiting for
the message I'd clicked on to load.  VERY slow net connections in
Vietnam.

I solved the problem by finding a way to punch a hole for ssh through
the People's Committee Firewall of Health of Prosperity by using the
ftp port.

I'd like to see a decent Webmail service built in plain ol' HTML.
