I wrote this up a while back and it should be helpful: https://web.archive.org/web/20210121103233/https://chiraag.me/blog/2019/08/21/managing-multiple-email-accounts-with-mutt-and-fetchmail/ It's basically the same system I currently use with a bunch of different accounts from different providers. I'm more than happy to help debug and/or answer questions! Sincerely, Chiraag -- ಚಿರಾಗ್ ನಟರಾಜ್ Pronouns: he/him/his
