Hi!  Plenty of people have wanted a good mail client for use with Tor;
this would be a fine thing to build.

Our application template is at
https://www.torproject.org/about/gsoc.html.en#Template -- of the
things it asks for, a couple of the most important are trying to
figure out what your work plan is in as much detail as possible, and
making sure that you include good coding samples to let the
organization know what you can do.

Please let us know if you've got any specific questions that we can answer.

yrs,
