Emailing with SE/30

[Popjoel]

Hi, I would like to send mails with my SE / 30, I installed Internet Explorer 4.01 and it works fine but Outlook does not connect with my Gmail mail ....
Is it the fault of Gmail?
Do I have to make another account on an emailer more suited to 68k?
Which ?
I write to you from Spain, from which I can find no answer.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

Yes, it is the fault of Gmail for not supporting very very old computers and email clients.

It's also your fault for using a very very old computer and email client! ;-)

You might find another email provider that supports old protocols.

This is something i want to do to and there has been several attempts. It appears there isn’t an email client modern enough to run SSL and authentification so a few people have used raspberry pies as a seriel SSL authentification route, another method is to run your email through another more modern computer on your network And push it through into your SE/30 a program called baton is mentioned. This is the way I’m working towards setting up.

Thank you, Dog Cow, you're right, but I'm still looking for this email provider
SE30-Neal, before starting with Rasberry, tell me a little more about Baton !!!!
I am interested.
Thank you both

Does IE 4.0 have enough juice to run Squirrel webmail? (this thing https://squirrelmail.org/screenshots.php )

I think it requires HTML 4.0 and nothing else.

Edit:

I ask because I've been thinking of hosting a webmail server for this very reason.

Hi Joel, I haven’t tried this myself yet as I’m still trying to get my SE/30’s network card working but here’s an old link from Macorchard that explains what it does

http://www.macorchard.com/classic/server/BatonMail.php

So from that i believe baton is an authentification program to allow older email clients to work. if you get it to work let me know? it’s exactly what i want to do with my se/30, doing my emails on it would be lovely.

Interesting option tech!
