Is there a version of Mutt with a GUI yet?

While I like command line apps, and am a die hard vim user, there are just some applications that I really want to use a mouse for, and email is one of them. I've tried mutt a few times before and it's just never clicked with me. It's not that I can't learn how to drive it --- it's that I don't want to have to. Finding little-used commands is so much easier if there's an actual menu.

That's funny, because every time I use an MUA other than mutt I'm frustrated by how janky it feels to process email with a mouse. :)

The little-used commands can be found by pressing "?" in any mode. You get a nice list including any custom macros you've set up (I don't use many, but a few are essential). It's far simpler than clicking all over menus and dropdowns and hovering inscrutable icons...
