might summarize as "a place for everything, and everything in its
place." Most people I have encountered who use Mutt and enjoy it
specifically do not want a unified inbox, myself certainly included.
I think it's fair to say that Mutt was not designed with this paradigm
in mind...

f you ask me personally, for various reasons. the fact that it's a
text-mode mail client is a large part of it.
for me, mutt's IMAP capabilities are good enough. i don't even want a unified
inbox...

I don't think having a specific feature in Mutt is necessary or
desirable to achieve this. You can easily have mail fr

I don't have a real answer for you. What I do is to keep my two inboxes
open in separate tabs of my terminal. One is a work account and the other

but it really helps. As is, with mutt, I am constantly flipping between
one account to another, and even though I have mapped the F1 and F2 keys
to the inboxes for
