Manolo - Primefaces Mailbox template --- http://www.primefaces.org/showcase-labs/ui/layoutMailbox.jsf
Its basic but good starting point. They have very rich component suite also you can look into Primefaces extensions for more layouts and Rich editor support besides what is provided by Primefaces itself. The extensions project is hosted here - http://code.google.com/p/primefaces-extensions/ They also have their entire showcase online. Slight deviation - following the principles of Zimbra we can easily (hopefully) we can turn this webmail app into a desktop app like MS OUTLOOK or Thunderbird by embeding Jetty with Mozilla Prism (is it a dead project i guess) or some kind of XULRunner. Also I am available for any consultancy or help on Primefaces, JSF 2, Spring. I can also do lot of development as well provided I have a commit privilege on SVN :) . One big advantage I see using JSF 2 is modular app development. Please check this link - https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ModularWebAppsWithJSF2?_sscc=t This can be further extended with Spring and Ant style configuration.
