I wrote the beginnings of a Gtk-based mail app that uses IMAP (through
c-client) as the back end. I'll try to clean it up and release the source
in the next few days so that others can play with it -- right now it does
little more than display your INBOX and let you pick messages from it. I
am targetting the iPAQ screen size from the start, so I'm trying to keep
it as visually small as possible.

There is also a possibility of building a small web browser based on
GtkHTML...
