I think I tried it, but I'm not quite certain.
The folder and spoolfile you set would be your defaults that get open when you start mutt. You only need to set these for one of your accounts. A few days back I posted in this mailing list my configuration to handle multiple Gmail accounts. Search the archives for a subject like "Simple Mutt with Eee PC 701".
