OK, it works. Thanks. While on the same note (or perhaps a totally
different one), I configured two accounts: my ISP's and my Gmail. When I
enter mutt through "mutt -y" I see both of them (and the third,
/var/spool/mail/amit account), but once I <Return> into one of them, I
can't manage to switch to the other one. pressing "c" doesn't seem to do
any good either, since it literally chdirs on my /home directory.
Is there a binding that does that? Did I miss it?
Thanks,
Amit.
