Unfortunately not.  If you find a download for it, please let me know.

Encrypted, web based email:  http://www.hushmail.com/

I looked at them before.  Their web interface does all the encryption
transparent to the user (they only enter their passphrase).  And (IIRC)
everything is stored on their server encrypted, and the decryption is
done locally in the browser (Java?) so even the hushmail admin(s) can't
read your email.
