Hey all,

I've Googled this but unable to find anything concrete. I wish to access e-mail on a Windows 98SE machine but struggling. From my research and looking amongst Vogons and other online message boards, it seems the issue is likely related to the lack of TLS1.2 support.

However the story thus far:
- I've signed up for Mail.com Premium which allows the use of IMAP/POP3
- I've tested the above under Windows XP with Thunderbird and it works great
- Under Windows 98SE I have tried Thunderbird 2.0, Pegasus Mail and Outlook but I hit errors, again likely related to TLS1.2 preventing the connection. The furthest I've got is the point where Pegasus says it has Connect to imap.mail.com but then fails to retrieve any e-mails
- I looked around online and many people suggested using KernalEX to allow a newer version of Thunderbird to be installed, I tried this but failed to get KernalEX to work properly
- I tried to use a newer browser (Firefox 2.0) to just browse to Mail.com via a proxy server I have set up, this nearly works except the page gets stuck trying to load the Cookie Consent box blocking the login screen, unsure if there is any way to bypass this?

Does anyone have any up to date guides and what works well? Happy to use a different e-mail provider that doesn't require TLS1.2 as no sensitive information will be used on this e-mail nor is it used for logging into anything else.

Thank you all 😀
