Perhaps I don't understand your suggestion, but I'm not sure why I would want 
another web interface to my mail when my ISP and GMail already provide one.  
The reason I use a POP client like kmail is because I don't like web mail, 
but if I did, my ISP already provides me one.

I may be wrong, but I think most ISPs do these days.  If not, there are 
websites out there which will retrieve POP mail from any ISP and present it 
through a webmail interface.  (I can't remember any URLs as I haven't a need 
for at least 7 years, but I used such interfaces in the late 90's.)

Curiously, my ISP's webmail interface is evolving to look more and more like a 
standalone POP client...
