My world-weary, clunkier, but seemingly working solution:

1. have the alternate login yield my existing permissions, but a

2. create that mail folder, make its cur/new/tmp symlinks to the real
   ones, and symlink in the other folders I care about

Is this safe?

Yes.

And is there a more elegant way to do what I want?

Why not symlink the entire maildirs so their metadata is shared as well?

Another possibility would be to write a plugin limiting what mailboxes LIST shows.
