ElyMail's window lists accounts and adds Gmail, Microsoft, iCloud
(app-specific password), IMAP and POP3 ones; a check logs in to both
servers and reports each. Accounts live in the store as JSON with a
case-insensitive unique address; secrets go to the keychain. Removal
names the cache it deletes, takes the secret first and puts it back
when local removal fails. Originals are set aside until commit and
restored after a crash. Requests are numbered so late results stay
with their own dialog. The account list is keyboard-navigable.
The reader walks the MIME tree with its container context: alternative
picks versions, related finds its root by start, attached multiparts
stay whole, digest children are messages. Nesting deeper than 64
levels, counting enclosed messages, is refused, and over-deep parse
results are taken apart iteratively so dropping them cannot overflow
the stack. Composite parts with a Content-ID are cid targets.
The writer keeps attachment parameters and Content-IDs, writes
multipart and message attachments unencoded, and makes its own
Message-ID. SMTP adds BODY=8BITMIME for 8-bit bodies and SMTPUTF8
when any header block at any depth is 8-bit.

TLS or STARTTLS with the system trust store; password and XOAUTH2
logins keep the server's words on refusal. IMAP and POP3 are written
in the engine (imap-proto parses IMAP replies): async-imap dropped
NO/BAD on LIST and FETCH and lost BYE text, async-pop kept dot
stuffing and logged passwords. SMTP runs its own transaction with
RFC 5321 mailbox checks, full dot transparency, SMTPUTF8 and RSET.
