sharing emails with two programs, the gui and the console

[josé ángel madrid gómez]

I know there are some command line apps to check email. In order to
prevent problems if my X won't start, I would like to learn the
procedure for reading and sending emails using a console.
I would prefer to be able to use an unique "repository" of my emails I
mean, being able to read emails in a console way, or a gui way, using
the same directories.
Is there the chance of doing this? Should I configure, say, mutt in a
way that it uses the same mailboxes and configuration as thunderbird does?
