Could you build this?

Partial The AI features (sorting, drafting, follow-up tracking) are wrappable, and local models are available. Building a polished, reliable multi-provider email client with IMAP/Gmail/Outlook sync is a substantial engineering effort beyond vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: Build a cross-platform desktop client (Electron/Tauri or native) with a local IMAP/SMTP sync engine, OAuth for Gmail and Outlook, and a local SQLite index. Layer on local inference via llama.cpp or Ollama plus optional API keys for drafting and triage. The hard parts are robust sync and threading across providers, and a Superhuman-level UX, which requires experienced mail-client engineers.
