GUI for a webmail application

Hello guys,

I'm working in a small team and we're developing a webmail application. I'm about to create the GUI and I'd like to do a quick brainstorm here

Do you like current webmail GUIs? Could you imagine the webmail interface of your dreams? How would it be?

Ok, I'm going to help you, please have a look at these webmail GUIs:

Admin edit: These images were rather large, please host them somewhere else with a link to them, thank you - saltedm8

What do you like in these GUIs, and what don't you like? What about mixing the forum GUI and the webmail GUI? Sort of having a forum interface but to read mails? Forums and webmail have a lot of similarities after all... I'm just thinking at loud here

Please let me know your opinion and suggestions
Thanks.

i like gmail's gui.

Me too! Any other suggestion?

I love gmail's, it's the most simple and easiest to use in my opinion
