Well, TLS is doable (as I've proven with DOStodon), but I think the main problem will be Unicode/UTF-8 support and nowadays everything is HTML-Mails

libcurl has IMAP and SMTP support, so it should even be possible to add that to DOjS and then implement a client in Javascript. But alas, I already have to much projects
