Well this would not be ideal, but it can be done...
Just set a macro to run an xterm with a command to use the title and
options to go the right mailbox, maybe this can be done, and maybe it
can't. Just aloof suggestion. Too many hours behind terminals, fixing
mysqld, and prepping servers for production, i guess. Oh yeah and fun
with bash. 13 hours later. That's what you get.
