That's the way I've been doing it for years. Using a single instance of mutt for multiple accounts is too complicated for me. I do, however, use account-hooks to put all of the login credentials in the "common" file. That allows you to easily move/copy stuff between accounts when you want to. > [...] > For some reason I want mutt to be able to do what Thunderbird 3 does.

I set up a mailwatcher program that watches the various inboxes with a separate button/indicator for each. It launches mutt with the appropriate configuration file when any of the buttons are clicked. -- Grant
