Why not use macros for each IMAP server you have?
I have 'A' as IMAP-introducer key, and then 1 per IMAP-server,
like Aw, Ar, Ai, ... -> <change-folder>imaps://.../
and then you can add whatever you want manually, incl.
tab-browsing as Brendan has described.
Oh, and can we please adjust the subject to better get an idea
