Mutt seems to make a reasonable stab at it.  It lets you have as many
instances looking at a mailbox as you like, and each instance warns you if 
the existing messages have been changed underneath (new messages show up
fine).  

I haven't looked at the implementation (I assume it works by keeping the
mailbox closed most of the time) but from a user perspective it's 
excellent.
