Still not going to help much, it still needs the front-end running to do
any processing.
You'd have to move a mail server into e-d-s, at the very least. But
that adds a mountain of code complexity which will be hard to write, and
probably hit performance and memory usage pretty badly (we've discussed
ideas for doing this, but it isn't very easy, we can't do what the
addressbook does and just copy whole addressbooks around in memory for
email).
