I noticed when using GMail IMAP with Mutt, the Status line would show something
like "=INBOX" for the host name (ie. %f of status_format).

If multiple GMail IMAP accounts are accessed with one muttrc file  (ie. mapping
accounts to F1, F2, F3, ...), it's rare the %f variable will show the full
hostname on the status line which includes the GMail username.

I figured-out I could redefine the status_format to include an account 
identifier
on the status line so I know which GMail Account INBOX I'm looking at instead 
of guessing:

account-hook 'imaps://[email protected]/' 'set imap_user="[email protected]" 
imap_pass="xxx" \
  smtp_url="smtps://[email protected]@smtp.gmail.com/" \
  smtp_pass="xxx" \
  status_format = "-%r-Mutt [email protected]: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? 
New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? 
Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---" '

account-hook 'imaps://[email protected]/' 'set imap_user="[email protected]" 
imap_pass="xxx" \
  smtp_url="smtps://[email protected]@smtp.gmail.com/" \
  smtp_pass="xxx" \
  status_format = "-%r-Mutt [email protected]: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? 
New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? 
Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---" '
