Jeff is correct. You shouldn't lose any mail, but you might lose some flags or corrupt the indices or just make the two mailers thrash against each other. Making them multiprocess-writable would be a lot of work, even multiprocess one-writer/many-reader wouldn't be trivial.
There's nothing to stop you writing a command line client, you just shouldn't have them accessing the same folders at the same time (i.e. the processes running concurrently) as another process. Not sure if it'll need X to run though, it shouldn't (camel certainly doesnt' need it). I have no idea what the plans are, I know what i'd like to do, personally, but i dont think that's what will happen. A bunch of interfaces that talk 'email' to the mailer, but dont necessarily need it active to work (and visa versa, i.e. the mailer would continue to use native camel interfaces), would be a start, for example.
