offline imap/smtp email client for k3

Hi there,

I cannot say I am a full fledged programmer but I took 1 year of java programming and built some games and hack some code here and there. I mostly coded in processing actually.

But I would like to take on creating a simple imap/smtp client for the k3. Something that would copy the email locally so that you can take email offline and reply to them offline to only send when you are connected.

Is there something like that already? There is a Java Mail api that I played with few years ago that seemed to have all the tool to built something like that.

I see there is also 3 api for the kindle :

I am not sure where to start with kindle 3 apps.

The thing that I found was quite a drag was the UI development in Java with Swing or Qt. But I would think the kindle api has already a simple UI that could be re-used ?

Anyhow, as you can see I am a bit clueless about where to start - a kick in the right direction would be nice, and if you think a kindle 3 email client is useless I would also be interested to hear your point of view, as I think it would be really great to have such a tool...
