now all i have to do is type "screen" in a terminal to be taken to my inboxes.
I do a combination of this and the other method. My email is collected from all of my accounts through a combination of offlineimap and fetchmail, so mutt doesn't actually log into IMAP different accounts. My 'profiles' are used for changing my from address and signature. So I have them triggered off of a variety of hooks (mailbox, send, etc) to select the right profile. I also have a couple macros setup so I can toggle between them manually. Lastly, I typically keep several instances of mutt open in screen, one for my work inbox, one for my personal inbox, and one for a mailing list I follow closely.
One bit of advice I would give is to color something on the screen based on the profile/account selected, so you can tell. I color status bar: blue for personal, pink for work, green for a different account, etc.
I highly recommend screen or tmux. Great programs.
