html gmail works. You used to be able to set it as your default view (well, you still can technically), but they stopped respecting that setting and just send you to the javascript one now anyway. Still, if you change your URL manually after logging in (and possibly answer a prompt of "do you really want to use html gmail?" with yes), you can still get to it, and it's the same interface as ever.

You can also bookmark the modified URL, or (what I do) have it always open as an "unloaded"/suspended tab that you can click to load.

yes, although if you have to login (which i do because my cookies clear on each browser reload), it will still redirect you to the javascript gmail after logging in, even if you came from the html-gmail URL. Really they just need to respect the html-as-default setting. I doubt they even broke it on purpose, it's just that nobody at google cares about it. And of course, trying to report any sort of issue to google is a lost cause. either it affects huge swaths of people and they find out about it themselves, or you're just fucked
