And while of the subject of accessibility, could we have a terminal app
which has practically no deps to take an existing 'Gnome mail app thingy
with no name yet' mailbox(es) and convert them into a format readable by
standard terminal MUAs such as pine and emacs/whatever. This for people
who need to send or receive something (support!) when they can't access
X or can't get the new mail app to run anymore.

Such a thing in my view is crucial. Just say a newbie (like me) had GTK
break and they couldn't access the mail app to ask for support and
hadn't got a clue what to do.
