First IMHO: There are many excellent email clients available for all

Second again IMHO: OO.o should try to interop with the major clients on
the supported platform, such as Pegasus, Thunderbird, Eudora, Evolution,
claws, etc.
I would much rather have the OO.o team focus on the major office
components than to dilute their resources on another project.
Agreed. OOo should therefore list the installed email clients and ask
which one to make the default.
An OOo spinoff with Thunderbird would be nice, but should not be part
of the core OOo.
I agree with making it a separate spin off as to me Open Source also
means Freedom of Choice. By bundling it at the core it would tend to
take away that Freedom of Choice, at least to the uninitiated. I think
that taking that approach would Mickey$oft it too much, rather allow
spin offs, and even include howtos to "integrate" an email client of
choice. I guess this would require some interfacing of OOo with email
client projects.
