Not really impossible.  It's just a matter of adding some IPC mechanism
and probably some other features that allow the command line client to
tell the daemon which mailbox to pull.

Depending on the complexiting of the sources, this may be close to
impossible.

I suppose it's rarely needed so I don't think it's worth much efford; as
it's quite easy to have a different daemon per mailbox.


Have fun,
