I'll have to go this route then. As you suggested, I think I am getting stuck with the leftovers of a previous profile which creates a stateful mess. I'll organize my profiles in separate files and source them like you have and make a wildcard profile etc. Hopefully that will fix it.

Separate instances of mutt are a possibility (and I did it that way years ago when I had only home and work emails) > As to the other filtering question, imapfilter might be helpful: > https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter This is just what the doctor ordered.

I can't forward all email to one account but pulling it all down to one location with offlineimap is a possibility. I'm just concerned about not being able to access my mail with my iphone if I pull it all down and delete it from the server. -- Tracy Reed
