I'm not sure, but I think web browser are limited to talking http over the network, so you would need a proxy some where to allow for this -- architecturally similar to eg:
I've thought a bit about writing an email client (for the console, really -- but also thought about what would work on an Android phone) -- and I think making your own protocol and a server that proxies that protocol to imap/pop would be the way to go.
As far as I can tell this is how gmail works, and I seem to recall the original author of the SUP email client went in a similar direction on a new project (but I can't find the link atm).
I really don't like the idea of a "fan in" structure, where a proxy will end up knowing all usernames/passwords for every user's every email account. It would be better to have the "app" speak imap/pop -- but as I understand it -- implementing a useful subset of IMAP is not a trivial and makes ponies cry.
I am running Xubuntu now on my laptop and I can tell you that it comes recommended for me. Its very light on system resources and extremely fast. I hate UNITY and not a fan of GNOME 3. Do try it out.
thats because of pokki's distribution method. You can uninstall it any time. Its also easier to update the game once its installed. You can take a look at www.pokki.com also
