Could you build this?
Partial A modern email client UI can be generated easily, but full support for complex email standards (IMAP sync state, MIME parsing, nested multipart encodings, and local caching) requires significant protocol-specific engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a desktop shell (e.g., Tauri or Electron) with a high-performance background sync engine in Rust or Go paired with SQLite. The core difficulty is implementing robust IMAP UID sync, handling connection drops and server quirks, and accurately rendering arbitrary legacy HTML emails securely. This requires experienced engineers familiar with internet messaging RFCs and offline-first database synchronization.
