Interesting, I actually was making a competitor to Email Engine but also open source, similar to Nylas, because I didn't like the latter's opaque pricing and I didn't like the former's self-hosting, I wanted it to be in the cloud. I even got a YC interview based on this idea for last summer's batch (rejected primarily for being a solo founder, they seem to like solo founders only if they had a previous exit), but ultimately I gave up on the project because I realized I didn't actually like the problem space, it seemed too boring for me after a while and I wanted to concentrate on building things I thought were interesting.
