OK, it works. Thanks. While on the same note (or perhaps a totally different one), I configured two accounts: my ISP's and my Gmail. When I enter mutt through "mutt -y" I see both of them (and the third, /var/spool/mail/amit account), but once I <Return> into one of them, I can't manage to switch to the other one. pressing "c" doesn't seem to do any good either, since it literally chdirs on my /home directory. Is there a binding that does that? Did I miss it? Thanks, Amit.
