IMAP client for Chromebook

Hello, I'm thinking of getting a Chromebook for my mum.

Problem is she uses both gmail and gmx for email.

Is there a simple to use app/extension that will run on a Chromebook that will allow her to manage both accounts together?

Thanks

    As far as I'm aware there isn't an extension for Chrome that does this yet.

    I played about with a Chromebook some time ago and this was a show stopper, having to use each mail servers web interface rather than a single mail client.

    A quick fix, though not ideal, would be to set up mail forwarding on GMX to forward all emails to Gmail.
    One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.

    Thanks Mr_Toad, I thought that might be the case.

    Maybe if Google allows more Android apps to run on the Chromebook things might change.
