Problems with mail2web?

Anybody else here use mail2web, and experiencing problems?

I have used it for a number of years to check one of my email accounts. It saves me the trouble of installing an email client on my computer for one of my home accounts.

It worked as promised for a long time.

However, for the past few months, I cannot open any of my emails. I can log in fine. The emails are listed. However, when I click on any of them, I get a "Run time Error" message." So I cannot read any of them.

When I click around the rest of the site, many of the links result in "page not found" errors. What is going on? It looks like the wheels are falling off the mail2web cart. Anybody know what is going on there?

This online Email interface no longer works as I've tried a few times in the past several months. I sign in but the message screen never comes up. I think that Fastmail has done something to block access through Mail2web.

FastMail made security improvements last year which require Application Passwords to be used for access by third party clients. I have no idea if this works with the mail2web service:

Why aren't you using the FastMail web interface (or the iOS or Android app on a mobile device)?
