It could be a hardware thing though, that your GPU can't make use of hardware acceleration.

It's hilarious and sad that we should need GPU hardware acceleration for email.
That is a ridiculous requirement for an email webapp.
When an email client needs hw acceleration, they are doing it wrong.
I challenge you to name a single mail client which doesn't use graphics hardware acceleration in some form.

Even an old fashioned DOS computers console display modes are graphics acceleration - that's why it doesn't have to draw the fonts pixel by pixel - the graphics hardware gets them out of a ROM in real-time.
