I solved this like 

$ cat .muttrc-the
#I use IMAP.
set spoolfile={[EMAIL PROTECTED]:143}inbox

#This is my folder there are many like it but this one is mine.
set folder={[EMAIL PROTECTED]:143}inbox.

# Le password
set imap_pass=foo

# All the other settings are in another file.
source .muttrc-common

$ cat .muttrc-common
#We want mailcheck to work,
set imap_passive=no

#Set up my personal addresses.
[..]
$

For the switching or simultanious runs, use screen, ksh alias,
shell scripts and other stuff like it for running mutt with the
-F option e.x. mutt -F .muttrc-the
