Mahogany isn't written in Python but it has an embedded Python
interpreter and it most definitely uses wxWindows:

There is one, but if you ask about my personal opinion, it's n ybnq bs penc.

First hit. rzMail.

Mahogany has support for Python scripting in the sourcecode, but AFAIR
it hasn't been updated for years. It's written in C++ using wxWindows,
but contrary to rzMail it's actually useful :->

The Chandler project from the Open Source Applications Foundation contains
a mail client, calendar and other collaboration tools. It's written in
Python and wxWindows.

It's just at version 0.1, though.

I wrote GBMail for my own use. I like it a lot. It likely wouldn't
suit anyone else but writing it was sure a fun way to learn Python. I
haven't posted the source anywhere but I'd be happy to share it with
anyone interested.

I used Python, wxPython, and my own SWIG wrapper for the UW Imap
client library.

It has automagic completion on email addresses, on-the-fly spell
checking in composition windows, html display using IE embedded in a
window, fast full-text search of all my email messages, some tricks
for handling attachments, and other stuff I can't think of now.

I looked at all the email clients and they were all broken in one
way or another. I figure there must be some constant of brokenness for
email programs. GBMail is broken too, just not in ways that bother me
:-)

And the next release should happen really soon now (no joking).
Unfortunately, Python support will almost surely be disabled in it because
there is not enough interest in it to motivate me to maintain it and so right
now it doesn't even support 2.2 without speaking of 2.3 (only 1.5, 1.6 and
2.1). But if someone would like to have a relatively powerful cross-platform
mail client scriptable in Python Mahogany would be a great to start and any
help with the embedded Python interpreter would be very welcome.

I was just looking at it as a replacement for my current mail client, and
Python scripting was one of the things which made me look at it (I found a
link to it on the wxWindows site). But scripting (Python or other) is not
something I really need in a mail client currently...

Mahogany itself has many good & sometimes unique features. :-)

But it has some strange bugs too. :-(
I'll try a new install and not play with the "Calendar" module this time,
as it seems the problems started after activating it...
