Hello Jean, thank you for your kind answer.
I source the email account by macro index,pager <f7> '<sync-mailbox><enter-command>source ~/.config/mutt/conf/imap1<enter><change-folder>!<enter>' and I'm in my imap account. If press key "s" here followed by "?" I have only the choice to save in the for the external imap folders and can't switch to the local maildir. I guess, I have to add something in the imap1 file?
