In some ways you can, by using the object label feature in VoiceOver. Interact with the message list when you have an unread message there, focus on the unread button, and open the label feature to enter whatever you want VO to say instead. Every time VoiceOver sees such a button again, it will use your new term. Also, you can do the same for "Forwarded" and "Replied" messages. Just find such a message, interact until you find the correct button, and label it with something else. And of course, if you don't have a forwarded or replied message on hand, just forward or reply to yourself, to have the buttons appear in your inbox. :)
