Tweetie for Mac inspired App for Email (specifically Gmail)

Edit Subject

I would love an app that brings the features and experience you are demoing with Tweetie for Mac to email. I am stuck between Gmail and Apple Mail. Gmail is fantastic, but even with Google Notifier it is too limited living only in a browser. And Apple Mail's features are stale and not as powerful as Gmail.

A lightweight (i.e. not for power users) app that would extend Gmail into OS X would be fantastic (and not just frame Gmail like mailplane). Leave the heavy lifting to the Gmail webapp and instead focus on the things Tweetie does - integration, sharing, easy casual writing/posting, simply reading

I bought ibisMail in hopes it was awesome, or on the path to awesome...

... it's so not awesome.

I would love a client like this.

This is a great idea, I was just messing with Tweetie and thinking how great it would be to integrate my gmails into a similar interface. Googled to see if something existed and ended up here.

does anyone know what changes mail.app will feature in snow leopard besides full (mail, calendar, address book) support? im hoping that the app will see some major improvements in features and functionality.

also i would like to bring your attention to thunderbird that no one seems to have mentioned here. i never really took to it but thought that its flexibility, modeled after firefox and developed by mozilla, merited much attention.
