Sounds reasonable, but I don't have a dedicated connection - and when
I'm traveling, I'd rather leave my mail on the server so I can access it
from where I am (rather than having to rely on my machine being up, my
connection being up, and my dynamic DNS service actually working).

Been there, tried that, no luck.  There is no select-previous word
command for the widget.

And while I'm at it - is it the case that you can't add or modify
keybindings in the MS-Like (or Emacs Like, or X-Emacs Like) sets?
Meaning if you want to change the behavior of one key, you need to
redefine all of them into a custom set?  That's been my experience
trying to get ctrl-shift-right/left to do the right thing, and it's very
annoying.
