Could you build this?
Partial While a basic email interface can be built by wrapping existing IMAP/SMTP libraries, handling decades of email edge cases, multi-account syncing, MIME parsing, and reliable offline storage requires substantial engineering beyond simple vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Architecture typically involves an Electron or Tauri desktop shell backed by a local SQLite database and an engine handling IMAP/SMTP/JMAP state synchronization. The hard parts are resilient background syncing, offline reconciliation, parsing malformed MIME multipart bodies, and secure credential storage. Building this requires deep knowledge of email protocol standards (RFCs) and asynchronous state machine synchronization.
