I'm doing this, although with my own server not a separate ISP. What I've done is put the account information into the account-hook and folder-hook info: account-hook imaps://p...@domain2.com@imap.domain.com 'set imap_user = p...@domain1.com... ' folder-hook imaps://p...@domain2.com@imap.domain.com 'set ... ' account-hook imaps://p...@domain2.com@imap.domain.com 'set imap_user = p...@domain2.com... ' folder-hook imaps://p...@domain1.com@imap.domain.com 'set ... ' I use full email addressing as my login details. The only problem is the lengthy references when moving between folders or filing mail, but the tab completion helps. At the moment I have to type 'imaps:<tab>' before each (the tab only saves typing the '//') then the login name, etc. with tabs to save typing. > and the analogue for b.com.
