Comment (by kevin8t8):
It's better to email mutt-users with configuration questions like this,
unless you are absolutely sure there is a bug in mutt.
Some points to consider:
* The account hook specifies a regular expression to match against a
connection URL. '''All''' matching account hooks will execute, not just
the first match. Be sure the regular expression is not matching more (or
less) than intended.
* An account hook executes any time a connection needs to be made:
including for mailbox polling, the folder browser, fcc's, etc. The values
of imap_user and imap_pass are not reset afterwards. In your first
example, you don't have an initial default account-hook such as
{{{
account-hook . 'unset imap_user; unset imap_pass'
}}}
Which means any connection to imapserverB could interfere with
subsequent imapserverA connection attempts.
