first attempt was indeed to use that (ctrl + alt + fn1 ~ fn6) approach,
but after a few switches my system just hung.

now, i have disciplined myself to first work through every email, then
work with pharo as much as i can, take notes about stuff i get stuck at,
exit pharo (and the x session), and head over to mutt. :(
