Alan, while thinking now about what I have done, I think this approach
should be more general. It is not much funny, to start this icon
'Mutt-Terminal', key-in the credentials of phablet only to read the mail
and after the end of 'mutt' this terminal closes. A more general
solution would be:

- pack into the click package other interesting alpha terminal software
  too, like 'mutt', 'telegram-cli', ...

- on start of the terminal by clicking an icon named 'Alpha-App-Terminal'
  a small menu is presented like:

   1) Start Mutt
   2) Start Telegram
   3) ...

   0) End the Alpha-App-Terminal

  and one could stay in that menu, even slide it away to use other
  stuff, and come back; the key-numbers could be in the function-key
  line as you can see this for the usage of mutt in the screen shoot

  in the lower part of the terminal

What do you think?
