  • You might as well ask how do people without browsers access the web?

    If you log in to such a system using a non javascript browser you could have two options.
    1) Read and write only plaintext emails; OR
    2) Trust Google with your "privacy password" and access to your private key to decode the content serverside, with defeats the point of the whole exercise.
