From having used webmail solutions for several years I have decided to roll back to the old way of doing things; a local email client.

This screenie shows off Beryl 0.1.4 with a patched konsole which enables true transparency, you can see the desktop icons through the konsole. The konsole is also wrapped around the corner and you can see that it pops out from the desktop cube.
