Lead with what makes it different

"Gmail-class webmail" describes the client, and every webmail says something
like it. What no other webmail for Stalwart says is that the container has
nothing to persist: one optional write path, and with IMMUTABLE=1 switched on,
no volume and no writable root filesystem at all.

The Gmail comparison still earns its place -- it is what tells someone what the
client feels like to use -- so it stays, one clause later, where it describes
the app rather than the product.
