I think I tried it, but I'm not quite certain. The folder and spoolfile you set would be your defaults that get open when you start mutt. You only need to set these for one of your accounts. A few days back I posted in this mailing list my configuration to handle multiple Gmail accounts. Search the archives for a subject like "Simple Mutt with Eee PC 701".

I agree but the added benefit of offlineimap is that first of all you will have a local copy of all your mail. Redunancy is always a good idea. Secondly, you will not have any of the normal network delays. Everything is stored locally, send with msmtp, and synced with the remote server via a cron job. I personally love it. I know this is not what you had it mind, but create a new profile and just give it a whirl. -- Chuck Smith
