Although the quote of Jamie Zawinski suggest 'bloated' software i'm not sure
if that is the right direction.
Would it not be much nicer if you just can integrate with a existing mail-service. Both as
a client or as a workflow extension (like in Enterprise Content Management)
A few services like; show list of mails in a box, show details of mail, store a specific
mail as a XWiki document with metadata about mail
Many mail servers already offer RSS feeds of mail boxes, many offer a webpage interface.
A XWiki iFrame might be a very lightweight integration already.
If you could add a few parameters to the iframe you could supply some identity and access
data to dynamically log-in the service

The Apache James Project[1] could fit such a request. I've seen it
integrated into a few large scale frameworks before.
