It looks like I've to clarify that my project is all about the client side of email. What I'd like to achieve is a Genode-native multi-component replacement for running Thunderbird or the like in a Linux VM. I personally use Mutt, offlineimap, msmtp, and abook on Linux for my Genode Labs account for years and am quite satisfied by most of the components. For the Genode implementation I'm still addressing Mutt, msmtp, and abook, but like to replace offlineimap by isync/mbsync. Nevertheless, it should be not that hard for you to start the initial port of a simple IMAP server to Genode (using the libc) and identify additional requirements (e.g., missing libraries) not available yet.
