Thanks to the Hawk Wings blog, we found out about a new email client OS X users can try out. It's called Correo and, according to its creator Nick Kreeger, it "blends technology from two popular Mozilla projects, Camino and Thunderbird, to create a polished native Macintosh application."

Correo's currently pretty basic, but it does give offer some viewing options, from a "mail.app" styled layout to an Outlook-like version, as you can see from the above pictures. The application also supports multiple POP and IMAP accounts, so a family of Mac users can pick this up just as easily for their own personal use.

Kreeger mentions adding more functions in the future, from a plugin capability to let people make their own customizable program extensions, to address book support, one feature almost every full-fledged mail program has these days, even if you don't actually use it. The source link has more information on the application, along with the program's source code and its own wiki. Give it a try and see if it fits your tastes.

Features:

• Create multiple mail accounts (POP and IMAP)
• Reply, Forward, and write new messages (via SMTP)
• Ability to setup interface for 2 column split view or 3 column view
