This sounds like a stupid question, but is it possible to download emails from Gmail with jQuery? If so, how?
This is needed as a proof of concept of a larger internal product where we’re trying to bypass the server when possible.

No it is not possible to download emails from an IMAP server. What I can think of is to use JQuery to use $.ajax or $.post to connect to a server side function which returns a list of email data to display in the browser. I think that that’s as far as you can go, though.
