That’s not how it was usually implemented though, you’d have frameless iframes that refreshed - eg for chat rooms etc

Did it preserve the scroll position when refreshing? If so, that might be OK for a chat room. But an email inbox is more interactive, so I think it would be jarring to have that refresh as you're poking at it.
