Incidentally, that's somewhat what I've been building since my recent submission: Show HN: A personal Gmail. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4804690)

I learned a lot from HN about trust and got a lot of great feedback via email.

Basically, I currently manage my own email via a native app I build with TideSDK and AngularJS. MailGun catches the emails and my rails service drops them into my dropbox as JSON files.

There is some magic going on regarding conversation views, labels, attachments, etc.

Sadly, I came across a critical memory leak in TideSDK, which currently prevents me from releasing the app/service to the public.

Feel free to drop me a message if you're interested in updates.
