Zenbe webmail client adds Twitter, GTalk integration
When we first looked at Zenbe two months ago, the service was still in private beta. Now anyone can sign up for Zenbe. The company has also added several new features that help transform the service from a simple webmail client to a personalized start page.
For example, you can now sign into Google Talk and Twitter in the Quick View area on the right side of the page. This lets you chat with your contacts without leaving the email/calendar client. You can update your twitter status or read updates from your contacts.
Zenbe has also created a new email notification script for Firefox, redesigned the task list, and added buttons for easily deleting all items in your deleted and spam folders. Zenbe also says it's working on adding a Gmail-style conversation e-mail view, and is working to add IMAP support.
On July 11th, Zenbe will also be launching an iPhone list application. This is described as the company's first foray into bringing Zenbe to a mobile platform, so we expect we'll see a full Zenbe client for the iPhone and other mobile devices in the future.

I like Fuser (fuser.com)
It has Y! Mail, GMail, Hotmail
And in social networks- Hi5, Orkut, Facebook, etc.
Everything in one account !
I guess you should review that one day.

Awww, man. I *really wanted to like this, but here's two issues I encountered right off the bat.
1) GTalk doesn't alert you to a new message if you say something to someone, then switch the sidebar screen to, say, your calendar. In fact, when you switch back to the GTalk chat screen it reloads your contact list not takes you back to who you were talking to. FAIL.
2) No in-line spell check (at least not w/ FF3).
Too bad, because the integrated to-do list and very nice interface had me hooked.

I absolutely love Zenbe. I tried Fuser & it just wasn't my cup of tea but Zenbe is great!
