   You can open a second main window with kmail.  I think the openReader() 
dcop call only redisplays the currently open reader window but it would be 
interesting if it could be extended to open a second reader on a different 
display.  I'm not sure how possible this is.

   KMail will support IMAP soon and you can use this to keep your mail in a 
central location.
