Thanks. I did not realize that was possible. I have now opened up two tabs in my terminal, and have two mutt views. It is a great step forward from flipping account folders back and forth; many thanks. That said, it is still not as convenient as a unified inbox as I still have to flip between the two tabs to check if there is new mail in one or the other. Hopefully someone else will chime in with a bright idea. Puneet.
