Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Inbox Classic is a Windows desktop email client styled after Outlook Express, built with a Rust core (ported from the author's JavaScript mail libraries) and a thin C++ Win32 GUI with WebView2 for message rendering. It supports IMAP/SMTP, OAuth sign-in, offline mail storage, full-text search, and strict HTML sanitization, making it a polished, security-conscious revival of a classic mail client.

Target audience: Windows users and developers seeking a lightweight, privacy-focused desktop email client
