It there a way, YES. At least the emails, not the service itself. Go take a look at how Thunderbird works. – Joseph May 05 '12 at 03:23

You can control the look of the page and probably (although I cannot be sure) send and edit messages without having to use the on-page buttons, but you cannot do server-side stuff such as logging into an account from a page without a log-in on it or sending a message from a page other than the email sending page. If you have any specific questions about controlling one specific thing, please add them in the comments, and I may answer them.
