Please bottom-post on mailing lists. Your reply goes _under_ the

Gmail does this fine -- I am doing it right now.

There are multiple "Gmail clients" for macOS:

https://mailplaneapp.com/
https://www.boxysuite.com/
https://www.kiwiforgmail.com/pricing.php
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1919581657/gmail-for-mac-finally-gmail-is-a-true-desktop-emai?src=jr

This shows it's possible and easy. However, most are just
Electron-type apps: a standalone web browser that only opens 1 site.
These are all terrible memory hogs as well as usually being quite slow
and inefficient, and not matching the local OS's look-and-feel well.

For Linux...
https://getmailspring.com/
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary

These work similarly to Gmail: indexing, conversation view, archiving,
indexing for fast searching, etc.

Personally I use a local copy of Thunderbird to archive my Gmail
account, and to act as a new-mail notification. Gmail works fine with
Thunderbird. I assessed all the main FOSS email clients when I started
working for a Linux vendor 4y ago: Thunderbird, Sylpheed, Claws,
Evolution, Balsa, Mailspring, GNUstep Mail, etc. I didn't like any of
them that much and went back to Thunderbird. It's a bit bloated but it
works, it's fast, it's multithreaded -- so you can continue working
while it sends and receives in the background -- and it talks to
anything.

If you like the Gmail web interface, then use it. If you like a
traditional local client, then use a traditional local client.
