One important point Chris has raised is the case where you have two
different accounts on the same IMAP server. Because of the way the
socket selection code works in socket.c, it is impossible for mutt to
distinguish between them after they've both been established. An
additional "account" token would have to be embedded into CONN_DATA and
IMAP_DATA to make this possible...
so there's more going on here than just muttrc monkeying...
