Could you build this?
Partial A basic desktop email wrapper with AI integration is achievable, but building a fully featured, high-performance Windows email client with robust IMAP/SMTP sync and MIME handling is notoriously difficult.
What it would actually take: Typically built using Electron or native Tauri/C# .NET with local SQLite indexing and an IMAP/JMAP/Graph sync engine (like MailKit). The hard part is the immense complexity of raw IMAP/Exchange synchronization, MIME parsing edge cases, local cache management, and multi-threaded background synchronization.
