mutt is not at all what I have in mind!

I know you can su to a different user and use a text based mail reader like
mutt or pine from within the xterm.  I am looking for a full GUI mail reader
that can be launched from the command line of xterm.  Something that has the
look and functionality of Netscape mail.  I know there is Kmial but how can
that be launched as a su'ed user?

To be more clear, if I have users root, joe, frank and bill.  I log in as bill,
su to root.  Now su to joe and frank does not require a password.  So I want to
su to joe or frank and launch the equivalent of Netscape Mail / Kmail or
whatever on bills desktop but as joe or frank.

I used to do this with XFmail in Red Hat 6.0 but I am looking for even more GUI
functionality that even XFmail.
