Could you build this?
Partial A Windows desktop UI with animated notifiers and stationery is vibe-codeable. A full email client with IMAP/POP sync, MIME handling, and encrypted offline storage is a substantial, hard-to-get-right subsystem.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native Windows app (C# WPF or similar) using existing mail protocol libraries for IMAP, POP, and SMTP, plus a local encrypted message store and backup format. The hard parts are reliable multi-account sync, MIME and encoding edge cases, and the security-sensitive encryption and key management.
