Or you can use wxWidgets (www.wxwidgets.org) for the GUI, etc., which will enable your app to be cross-platform in principle, though you'd have to use C++ instead of Objective C (I think - there are no Objective C wrappers for wxWidgets, correct?). Or still better yet, forget the C/C++ family altogether and go straight to Python (www.python.org) w/ wxPython (www.wxpython.org) - the Python learning curve is a lot mellower than that of the C family, and if you're just beginning OOP, you've got some learning overhead anyway, so you might as well get the most bang for your buck.

I'm just starting with OOP (the last thing I wrote was a violin tuner in qBasic), and am beginning to learn Objective-C because I want to make my own custom mail client with a pretty radical interface.

I have the bones of it pretty pretty well down on paper, but trying to get started with Interface Builder is proving difficult at best, as I can't for the life of me figure out how to build a window with a toolbar, which is pretty much the crux of the whole thing.

Any thoughts?  (They would be much appreciated).

Ah, you caught us, first out of the box.

It isn't you. Interface Builder 2 doesn't have an NSToolbar in its library. The Preview Release of IB3 in Leopard does, however. But for now you have to create your window in Interface Builder, and add the toolbar to it with code, such as http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ToolbarSample/index.html
