Then definitely do not simply use IMail's templates! :)
If you are comfortable programming in Javascript, there's a lot of cool stuff you
could do with the templates.

IMail does support different sets of templates for different domains, although if
you're looking for a way the templates could be different on a per-user basis, you
would probably need to figure out a way to do that yourself.
If I were in your place, and I needed a solution that would allow web-based access to
E-mail, and I couldn't use the IMail templates, my first instinct would be to get a
POP3 COM component. That will still be a lot of work though, as you have to be able
to handle things such as multiple pages of E-mail (a "Go to next page" link that only
appears if there is another page, etc.). And, by doing it via POP3, you lose the
ability to handle certain account administration (such as forwarding addresses). And
you'll probably need to write code to handle "Address Book" type functionality. But
it will certainly be an interesting project!
