You should make an account on Hamster, and set password for it
first, then type it in MUA. Account name and password should be like
"1","xxx", not to real mailbox. When you have connection between Hamster
and MUA, use script to sending mails "outside".

For years I used TheBat!, which is even better;),  

slrn.rc:
set sendmail_command "mail.bat"
mail.bat:
d:\sbin\thebat\thebat.exe /importu="Marcin";f=outbox;in=%1
path                    TheBat! account name 
                                          put mail in a outbox  

No experience with other MUAs, sorry.
