I've completely unified my mutt config for several accounts and while it works very well, I cannot easily tell which account I'm connected to at the moment, and might not remember (yet) which macro switches to which account. The imap accounts generally just show "=INBOX" in the index status line. So I looked at the manual entry for status_format and found that there isn't any shortcut that can help identify the current account. Which is a bit surprising.
You could try something like: folder-hook . 'set status_format="-%r-Mutt: [$folder] %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?B? Back:%B?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%?T?%T/?%S)-%>-(%P)---" This technique also allows using your own labels instead of $folder: folder-hook . 'set my_account="default"' folder-hook 'imap.gmail.com' 'set my_account="gmail"' folder-hook 'imap.yahoo.com' 'set my_account="yahoo"' folder-hook . 'set status_format="-%r-Mutt: [$my_account] %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?B?
