It is, but I'm using Multimail - a single keypress to advance to the next
message, blazing fast performance.

My main board is Synchronet, though I can test on the Mystic board.  Is it
completely online?  Or cached/offline as well?

For mobile use, I definitely want offline for 2 reason - mobile online
performance can really suck (though probably less so for a leightweight
client), and some areas I go, there's very limited network coverage, online
operation is rather frustrating at best.
