Here's Apple's overview:

Here's a tutorial video:

I have - and I'm borrowing ideas from there as well as from Android, and from desktop mail clients. I'm not a designer, and for me the GUI part is boring the fun bits all happen under the hood.

Thanks cb22.. any chance of releasing a pre-pre-alpha version to have a look?
All the sources are publicly available at https://github.com/cb22/immoral - I just pushed a new commit too. If you look under the Issues tab, you'll find a few things I want to get implemented before releasing an Alpha version with just POP3 support.

At the moment, you can't even navigate back and fourth, and message reading doesn't work - so it's pretty useless. But I've almost finished on those two, I'd consider it pre-alpha and maybe release a deb for people to mess around with or something. Of course, attaching a large disclaimer

Feel free to poke around the code and let me know what you think in the mean time
