I don't see any disadvantages, really. I run a screen session (on my own computer) with three mutt instances, one to access my local mail boxes, and two for two different IMAP servers on which I have email accounts. The relevant section of my .screenrc looks like this: ================================================= screen -t "Local mail" mutt -F .muttrc-local screen -t "Fastmail" mutt -F .muttrc-fm screen -t "Uni Frankfurt" mutt -F .muttrc-jwg screen -t "slrn" slrn -n select 1 ================================================= As you can see, I also run slrn in a separate window. The three .muttrc-* files contain just the settings that differ for each account and then read .muttrc-gen, which contains general settings. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
