It seems like basic HTML view is the old mode that is still being
maintained. Just after logging in, an HTML page mentions that "standard
view" requires JavaScript and that to use standard view one must enable
JavaScript. But the same page then provides the option, "To use [...]
basic HTML view, which does not require JavaScript, click here.". After
logging in, one can set basic HTML as the default view. So it seems
like it is still fully supported.
(As an aside: basic HTML view uses old HTML-table-based, rather than new
CSS-based, layout, so it lays out nicely in EWW; in other words, it
provides a user interface that is friendly to simple browsers. It's by
no means an efficient alternative to Emacs's native MUAs though.)

I don't see a way of downloading mailbox files via simple links.
It is technically possible to implement the conversion you're
describing, since one can click through several links for a given
message and eventually get the original text. However, it would be an
awkward, fragile HTML-scraping-type implementation that I don't expect
would be viable in practice.
