Oddpost
Oddpost
Looks like outlook. Smells like outlook. Tastes like outlook. Must be oddpost. Doh!
Now if they'd just do IMAP, I'd be willing to PAY! Till then, not so sure. Oh yeah, sell me the SOAP server while you're at it, so that I can run against my own mail server. Thanks!

WooHoo! SOAP mail client!
Holy macarel. I was just reading "open source development with cvs" yesterday and thinking, I should sit down and implement a rich GUI client that uses SOAP as a conduit to SMTP and POP. Then these guys turn around and do it! I need to move faster. Sigh...
From Dave Winer:
I had a great phone talk with Iain and Ethan at Oddpost. The connection between the server and the browser is in SOAP. The server is written in Python. I know it only runs in MSIE/Win, so here's a screen shot. It's not Java, it's DHTML, all done with divs and borders, according to Ethan. They came from HalfBrain, via Adobe. Of course I encouraged them to do a user interface for weblogs using the Blogger and MetaWeblog APIs. I also suggested they do a weblog because they're natural storytellers. Now something for their testimonials page. "It's really great to see software developers pushing the envelope for the pure fun of it. I totally look forward to their next innovation and the one after that."
