I do this with quite a few accounts on the same server. I have my set commands
at the top of the .muttrc file, not sure whether this would impact anything.
The main difference I have is separate files for each account-hook, in which I
have my folder-hook and mailbox, etc.. I also keep everything in a directory
called .muttrc (so no need for the . on indifidual files and it keeps things
together). So how about:
muttrc:
set timeout = 30
set editor = "vim"
set check_new = yes
set charset = "utf-8"
set locale = `echo "${LC_ALL: -${LC_TIME: -${LANG}}}"`
set send_charset = "us-ascii: iso-8859-15: utf-8"
set file_charset = "us-ascii: iso-8859-15: utf-8"
set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp"
macro index <f2> '<sync-mailbox><enter-command>source
~/.mutt/account.whllnd<enter><change-folder>!<enter>'
macro index <f3> '<sync-mailbox><enter-command>source
~/.mutt/account.drsp<enter><change-folder>!<enter>'
account-hook imaps://imap.gmx.com 'set imap_user = "whl...@gmx.de" imap_pass =
"xxxx"'
source ~/.mutt/account.whllnd
account-hook imaps://imap.gmx.com 'set imap_user = "d...@gmx.de" imap_pass =
"xxxx"'
source ~/.mutt/account.drsp
then move the rest into the source files with:
account.whllnd
folder-hook imaps://imap.gmx.com
account.drsp
folder-hook imaps://imap.gmx.com
I also have a batch of set statements to sort out outbound email addresses,
etc. when I change folders.
As an aside, you don't need to use msmtp as Mutt now supports direct SMTP
traffic using:
set smtp_url="smtp://smtp.home.aptanet.com:25/"
set smtp_pass=""
replacing with your SMTP server, and password, of course :)
