In general, no; mutt not only doesn't care but in fact handles multiple
"sessions", or copies running against the same mailbox, with no problem
(as long as your system has locking correctly configured).


% had two or three copies of the client running unintentionally...
% (I know--don't do it then, stupid!) 

You could simply synchronize your mailbox (bound by default to '$') to
write the changes; no biggie there.  I have found mutt to be pretty good
at detecting what has changed and only applying those changes, so even
multiple changes in multiple copies should all end up written properly
in the end.  The worst I've ever seen is a warning "mailbox externally
modified; rereading" but that still doesn't stop mutt from syncing the
flags on the messages it has.
