Pot să vibecodez Airmail?
// se construiește într-un weekend, dar rămân goluri reale
The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Airmail, create a configurable Apple email client with actions, snooze, and send later. The hard boundary is native apps, provider quirks, automation, push, and years of compatibility work, plus mail infrastructure, integrations, and client polish.

Promptul
Un weekend cu un agent de coding. Golurile care rămân sunt mai jos, la „ce pierzi”.
Build a personal replacement for Airmail in an empty repository.
Use Tauri 2, React, TypeScript, SQLite, IMAP, SMTP, and OAuth where available; do not offer alternative stacks.
The core loop is: connect an existing mailbox, index messages locally, provide a fast focused inbox with actions, snooze, and send later, and send through the account's normal SMTP service.
Make the first run work locally with one documented command.
Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward.
Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials.
Support one IMAP and SMTP account with credentials stored only in the OS keychain.
Index headers and message bodies locally with resumable sync and a visible status page.
Implement standards-based threading, folders, labels, archive, snooze, drafts, and search.
Render HTML email in a locked-down sandbox and block remote images by default.
Send multipart messages with attachments and preserve a local copy of every draft.
Add export, local cache reset, account reconnect, diagnostics, and safe logging.
Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states.
Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs.
Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path.
Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps.
Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane.
Deliberately leave out running a public mail server.
Deliberately leave out shared team inboxes and sales workflows.
Deliberately leave out mobile push services and provider-scale spam filtering.
Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. Prompt generat din datele fișei, încă nerevizuit manual. În engleză intenționat — e limba în care agenții de coding se descurcă cel mai bine.
Ce pierzi
- native apps, provider quirks, automation, push, and years of compatibility work
- mail hosting and deliverability
- push on every platform
- advanced team collaboration
- provider-specific AI and search
De ce se plătește în continuare
People still pay for Airmail because an email client can be rebuilt; operating a trusted mail service with excellent deliverability cannot. The recurring cost buys IMAP quirks, OAuth, MIME, threading, search, attachments, offline sync, notifications, secure storage, and provider changes, not just the visible interface.

Respinse (2) — și de ce
- eM Client Free (si apre in una nuova scheda) — The perpetual license is real, but snooze and send-later are paid and business use is forbidden.
- Mailspring (si apre in una nuova scheda) — A polished Mac client, but free snooze and send-later are deliberately rationed.
