There are some decent mail clients. They just aren't made for the volume 
of mail that is the reality for some of us. Both Thunderbird and 
Evolution are pretty good for their intended audience.

Gmail is sort of my role model. It was similar to my old mail processing 
tools but not near as powerful. If I can work all these little kinks out 
and put a good GUI on it then it'll be a nice tool. I don't know how 
many people will use it though. It's sort of a mail client for people 
that have information overload. I doubt that many people have millions 
of email mesages collected. ;)

Then I have to decide if I should release any of my related tools. The 
email database is part of a larger database that tracks files, websites, 
etc. It's all intermingled. It's handy because then you can search and 
browse the files that have been collected from your email along with 
your personal files, files collected from websites you've visited, etc 
all together. I think the email processing program is probably enough to 
start with though as far as a public release. I was thinking of 
releasing it all as a suite of programs that can be used individually or 
together. This would just be FLOSS Email. Then maybe I could have FLOSS 
File Manager, FLOSS Web Tracker, etc.
