It's kinda my solution as well since I'm a everyday user of GNU Screen for several plus years... I use one .mutt-local/muttrc + fetchmail for all my personal email getting from multiple remote domains which contains folder hooks for changing my sender address. And then one .mutt-gmail/muttrc for all my imap accounts on gmail.com -- this gmail muttrc contains the above <f1>, <f2>, ... hooks for switching between the 2 or 3 gmail accounts I have. In the end, I get no more email from pretty girls then I would likely get with one email account. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
