"A shell account provides you with command line and graphical access to
our Linux shell servers. You will be assigned your own home directory
that provides storage space for files and configuration information and
an e-mail box. We provide tools and information resources to assist you
in developing web sites and software applications."

"Eskimo North shell accounts include a full Gnome Desktop graphical user
interface as well as command line shell access. Our service includes
hundreds of graphical applications, The Libre Office suite (Open Office
is also available from the command line), Educational Tools, Integrated
Software development tools such as Eclipse, web development tools,
Electronics Tools, Astronomy Programs, various Educational Programs,
Graphics Programs, Games, scripting lanaguages, compiled languages,
editing facilities, and many specialized tools. Also available are mysql
and postgres databases. Web hosting under our domain is included with
our shell accounts. Additional hosting services are available to host
your domain."

If they're providing a complete GNOME desktop to you then I fail to
understand how getting your mail directly from Eskimo is an issue if you
can reach the host? If you have the capability, you could also install
something like Mutt and check your email at the spool directly through
the shell.
