Yes, I am working on such a client. It is split in 2 parts: some CORBA
wrapper, that hides the Mozilla Mailnews backend behind CORBA
interfaces, so it can be accessed easier, and a experimental GUI for
Berlin <http://www.berlin-consortium.org>. You can see a screenshot
there. The Berlin UI won't be useful for you (It's really only an
experiment). But the CORBA wrapper could help somebody else to write a
native Mailnews frontend or even a web frontend, if you want. Maybe,
some day, I will come up with my own Mailnews GUI.
But I'm having a few problems with the Mozilla Mailnews backend, which
will have to be sorted out. Probably no show-stoppers, but it needs works.
I'd like to check in the CORBA wrapper to the mozilla.org tree, if I am
allowed to.
