Perhaps if you could get emacsclient to create a new frame, and delete
it upon `C-x #', then your window-manager would automatically pop the
focus back to the previously focused window; otherwise I'm not sure (it
seems very hard to specifically _ask_ for the mutt window to be focused,
because how do you know which window it is?)

I think you can do this by using something like:

  ;; force emacsclient to pop up a new window/frame on edited files,
  ;; and focus it
  (setq server-window 
        (lambda (buf)
          (add-to-list 'special-display-buffer-names (buffer-name buf))
          (pop-to-buffer buf)
          (x-focus-frame nil)))

[it worked when I just tried it using `emacsclient /tmp/mutt-foo']
