account-hook will only execute some mutt code when an account is used, which is probably not quite what you think. What you want first is to define the two accounts in .muttrc like so: mailboxes imaps://user1[:[EMAIL PROTECTED] imaps://user2[:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/var/mail/user] Then you can run 'mutt -y' to choose your mailbox. I don't know whether it is possible to bring up this menu from an already-started mutt. You can also run 'mutt -f imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to open the appropriate folder immediately on startup. I would recommend a shell alias for each account, or two icons if you're into that GUI nonsense. Alternatively you might want to look into fetchmail & procmail to unify/sort your mail automatically in local folders. Only if you have to change some mutt settings before switching accounts do you need account-hook. Since both accounts are on the same server, it is unlikely you will have to do this to get mutt merely *working*. You may want to set save_name to save your outgoing messages on the appropriate IMAP server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
