I'm toying with the idea of writing a GUI on top of my console-based mail-client. This would be interesting to experiment with, because I'd probably decouple the UI from the back-end, allowing others to experiment with unusual layouts and options. The downside is that GUI stuff is hard to do right, and I'm not really sure I could force myself to complete the job. I just don't like any of the existing (linux) mail-clients.
