except that that downloads the mail to your local machine. the "unified mailbox" concept means that the inboxes from multiple (IMAP) mail accounts are presented as a single mailbox, without actually merging them into a single mailbox. the mail remains on the IMAP servers. mutt is really a one-mail-account kind of mail client. while there are ways to use it with multiple mail accounts (i use screen with multiple mutt instances, for example), it's not really as convenient as e.g. thunderbird makes it. it would be nice if mutt were to gain the ability to conveniently deal with multiple mail accounts within a single instance, but it's up to the developers to decide if they want to implement it. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
