First off how to make a yakuake like shell on windows Desktop. Check here for directions on how to do that:
Quake (Yakuake) style Dropdown console
Now to the Mutt stuff!! ha ha
Firstly go into console settings by right clicking the black area and go to Edit->Settings:
Now once in you want to add a new tab to the tab options, call it whatever you like. I called mine Mutt, appropriately.
Leave default options for now, maybe change your startup dir from Desktop to just your users profile. Now just OK and exit the console2 window by typing exit into it.
Now you want to edit your AutoStart key file to autoload console2 with the two tabs and mutt autoloaded!!
You want to replace the line that says "Run Console.exe" with this line:
Run Console.exe -t Main -t Mutt -r C:\mutt\mutt.bat
And replace the location of mutt with your location from the install of mutt for windows. You can get Mutt for windows here:
Mutt Windows 32-Bit
What you are telling it is -t means Tab, and -r means run. So open two tabs and in second tab RUN X command.
There you have it, you first load windows in, call F12 to load your console, maybe 20MB of ram max. It automatically loads a console window and MUTT!! Enjoy, no more having Gmail open or Outlook or Thunderbird those memory HOG apps!!
