The site's primary interface is http. If the email interface is wobbly for
you, wouldn't you be better off not using it, instead of insisting on using
it and then complaining when it doesn't work?

If the bus that's supposed to take me to work is unreliable, and there's
alternative transport, I use the alternative. I don't insist on going by
bus.
