Newtscape does cookies but no https. Has for ages and ages. Make the
switch!
Webmail via Newtscape and MailStart's pda demo link
<http://www.mailstart.com/pda> DOES WORK, but to access more than
once/week you need to pay them $7.50/yr now. I've always liked their
webmail. Minimum of ads, just works.
I've been meaning to check out Yahoo's POP3 port; I have used it with
desktop clients, it should work via Simplemail. But current
implementation of different mailservers in Simplemail is a little clunky,
so I've never bothered to set up a 3rd server to test Yahoo's POP3.
