Hello Robin,
I played with BeeMail for a little while. From what I remember, it was
loaded with many Fidonet-specific features and tools. It just needed additional support to transfer packets over today's preferred transport:
the internet.
But I decided very early on that I would not be happy using it for the
long term. The GUI design looked too old-fashioned Win9x-like. BeeMail's graphics did not look very good on my 1400x1050 laptop display. So, I did not bother to invest much time on it.
I've narrowed down viable point-software to 3 programs. See:

However, your adventure to build the addtional support programs for
BeeMail would be interesting should you decide to pursue it.
