Re: reaching gmail in basic html?

as expressed more than once, I can still reach my  first and older gmail 
account with lynx in basic html, do this several times a day.
To be sure, perhaps only  newer accounts are generating the problem.
Fully realizing that alpine  quality strongly flows from talent, we have 
it via dreamhost for  my office e-mail.  It times out while reading items 
several times a day and crashes regularly...likely tied to the dreamhost 
shell configuration more than anything else.
