I got several gmail accounts that have to be set up inside muttrc like:

folder-hook "imaps://cfoo...@imap.gmail.com" '\
set from="cfoo...@gmail.com" ; \
set folder="imaps://cfoo...@imap.gmail.com" ; \
set spoolfile="+INBOX" ; \
set timeout=300 ; \
set mail_check=300 '

`muttGmail cfoobar`
`muttGmail ifoobar`

#/bin/sh

email="$1"

cat <<EOF
folder-hook "imaps://${ema...@imap.gmail.com" '\
set from="${ema...@gmail.com" ; \
set folder="imaps://${ema...@imap.gmail.com" ; \
set spoolfile="+INBOX" ; \
set timeout=300 ; \
set mail_check=300 '
EOF

Drop the attached file in your $PATH as muttGmail or whatever, then change the big blocks like above to: Mutt will run muttGmail with the given argument. muttGmail will take the argument and spit out the complete folder-hook. Mutt will then interpret the output as configuration commands, and you're all set up.
