Amiga e-mail client

I have been working on a piece for the December issue about setting up e-mail and it got me thinking. As you guys know YAM is really the only e-mail client we have for classic systems but it uses MUI. Is it possible to create an e-mail client just using the standard Intuition or BOOPSI? I find YAM to be a bit heavy and the window crowded, I would love a simple mail client that I can just read and reply to e-mails with a simple interface that could run on a HiRes PAL screen for example. If I remember correctly OS3.2 offers more functionality with Intuition or was it BOOPSI? Anyways, sorry if I am completely off the mark here but I have been wondering why something like this has not happened, as it seems like something that would be most useful to Amiga users.

There's a non-MUI email client included as part of OS3.9. Probably also some in http://aminet.net/comm/mail

simplemail is a very good email client, in my opinion, but I'm pretty sure it uses MUI.

I tried Simple Mail but it also uses MUI and is not compatible with the latest AmiSSL unfortunately.

They are all too old to use that obviously.

It will work with stunnel4. Set up stunnel4 on a remote system to forward your delivery (SMTP) and polling (IMAP for Simple Mail I think) over SSL. Then point Simple Mail at your Stunnel4 setup. I've done this before but Amigas just aren't powerful enough to handle and search large mail spools quickly.
