Does your email client just call `mozilla $url` ? If so, try using `mozilla -remote "openurl($url)"` This will just create a new window in your existing Mozilla session rather than starting a new one. If no session exists, only then will it start a new one. (Depending on the email client, $url might be %u or %s or something). Same goes for the quicklaunch bar.
