Hi there
@Bastet
Try vuescan - almost every scanner in the known universe will still work with this
VueScan Scanner Software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
OK it's not free but why junk a perfectly good scanner and you can TRY before buying --costs around 30 USD / 25 GBP / EUR.
I'm still using a canoscan for "digitising" Black and white film negatives -- Vuescan worked a treat (I'm now using an XP VM as I needed the old Canon software for optimising the scans and creating the Black and white prints) etc but certainly VUESCAN did the initial trick -- for older scanner unless you want to use a VM then 100% recommendable. Note with negatives the black and white are reversed which is why I needed the canon software but for your normal scans great piece of software.
For email there's BOUND to be a fix very quickly as an email client is usually MUST HAVE software.
Cheers
