Reading of that help page indicates you must be in an accepted
browser, or in standard mail first
which will be fine as I can share that link directly with the production
staff working with me.
It does not work for me otherwise, still produces the rejected error due
to the lack of JavaScript.
Thanks though, its another door!

you should be able to go to this link
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/1pq68r75kzvdr/?v%3Dlui
to force the HTML/low-bandwidth mode (hopefully a little easier than
trying to intercept the refresh). I'm not sure if you have to use
the JS-only login path or if there's a non-JavaScript HTML-only login
option though.

As far as i see the option is gone.
The only chance you have is to be very quick at the login screen,
right after you have entered the password, while it loads, there
is the necessary link at the bottom of the page. (I.e., first
screen to enter the name, second screen to enter the password,
then the third can shortly be seen -- maybe tell your helper to
very quickly hit the stop-load button, and i hope your browser
does that, then, instead of continuing the asynchronous load.)
Funnily the basic HTML always offers the possibility to switch to
the other one. Also funnily, only the rich version allows marking
all messages on the screen, so as to move them to trash. (I just
cleared my GMail history.)
Hope this helps.
