Sure. It goes like this:
.muttrc:
account-hook 'myhost' 'source ~/.muttrc-myhost'
account-hook 'imap.gmail.com' 'source ~/.muttrc-gmail'
macro index { '<change-folder>imap://myhost/<enter>'
macro index } '<change-folder>imaps://imap.gmail.com/<enter>'
.muttrc-myhost:
set folder=imap://myhost/mail
set postponed=imap://myhost/mail/drafts
set record=imap://myhost/mail/sent
set spoolfile=imap://myhost/inbox
set imap_user=me
set imap_pass=myimapsecret
set smtp_url="smtp://me:mysmtpsecret@mysmtphost/"
set smtp_authenticators="cram-md5"
set ssl_verify_host=no
.muttrc-gmail:
set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set postponed=imaps://imap.gmail.com/Drafts
set record=imaps://imap.gmail.com/Sent%20Messages
set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set imap_user=me2@mygoogledomain
set imap_pass=googlepass
set smtp_url="smtps://me2@mygoogledomain:googlep...@smtp.gmail.com/"
