If you consider XMPP case it is easier because there is no expectation of data persistence. It's a synchronous protocol where all parties are online together exchanging information and that information is not persisted one the session is ended.

Maybe that question is easier to answer if we consider plasma for XMPP and not just for email. There are important differences between XMPP and email that make it much more challenging to build web-only versions of the XMPP.
