Messages list widget is indeed very desktop-specific and changing it to

If you really want to do it. You could keep the table, but make it
invisible (display:none) and bind to insertrow event to create your own
list (and add rows to it). However, you'll still need to write a lot of
javascript code to handle all actions on the list. You'll need at least
to re-write the whole list.js code.
Is there any mileage or interest in implementing a minimal interface for
smartphones which doesn't try to handle all actions on the list?
I've been looking at Horde/IMP over the last few days. Their smartphone
interface appears to implement:
1) Compose new message (with simple integration with addressbook/LDAP,
and the list of identities).
2) Select a mailbox
3) List messages in current mailbox
4) Search for messages in current mailbox
5) View message in currently selected mailbox
6) Reply to, Forward and Save the (single) currently viewed message
and that is about it. No drag and drop or manipulation involving multiple
messages. No way to manipulate the users' addressbook or preferences.
This seems like a sensible compromise given the limitations of mobile
devices. Apart from the addressbook and identity integration in (1) it
could be an entirely separate application. Indeed I believe that is how it
came about.
I apologise if this subject has been discussed to death in the past: I've
only been on the list for a couple of months.
