Draft Email Broken Screen and a rather large headache

[AC Question]

Hi

I have been at this now for 8 hours. i have been trying to retrieve a draft email from my phone which has a broken screen. i find a nice emulator that worked with adb commands. hoorah. but because it uses a pull the ring pattern for the screen i cannot get past the lock screen to retreive this draft email

is there anyway on a non root phone to either

retrieve the email from drafts from the stock htc one emal app?

or remove the pull the ring lock as the screen is broken
