You can show more than one mailbox with kbiff by running more than
one copy, where different ones use different 'profiles'.

IMO this is a bit weird. There's no need to have more than one process.
It doesn't show number of messages either.

About korn: for some reason, it's using mimelib.

mimelib has a dodgy license, I think:

"Licensee may not use the Software to develop a program, whether
 free or not, that is used in a commercially offered service."

This looks to me like it forbids its inclusion in Linux distributions,
and is one reason why I wrote librmm. I'm not trying to push librmm
here, just feeling nervous about mimelib. The author didn't respond
to me when I wrote to him about it over a year ago.

Could korn be converted to use pop and news ioslaves ? What happened
to these slaves ? I know they existed at one time.
