    Fine! If "rodmur" is your main gmail account, "second" and "third"
are others, then you can do something like:

| mailboxes imap://imap.med.cornell.edu/                # default cornell 
account rodmur
| # mailboxes imap://rodmur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
| mailboxes imaps://imap.gmail.com/                     # default gmail account 
rodmur
| # mailboxes imaps://rodmur@xxxxxxxxx@imap.gmail.com/
| mailboxes imaps://second@xxxxxxxxx@imap.gmail.com/
| mailboxes imaps://third@xxxxxxxxx@imap.gmail.com/
|
| account-hook .        "unset imap_user imap_pass"
| account-hook ^imap://(rodmur@)?imap\\.med\\.cornell\\.edu/ \
|       "set imap_user=rodmur imap_pass=<pass0>"
| account-hook ^imaps://(rodmur@gmail\\.com@)?imap\\.gmail\\.com/ \
|       "set imap_user=rodmur@xxxxxxxxx imap_pass=<pass1>"
| account-hook ^imaps://second@gmail\\.com@imap\\.gmail\\.com/ \
|       "set imap_user=second@xxxxxxxxx imap_pass=<pass2>"
| account-hook ^imaps://third@gmail\\.com@imap\\.gmail\\.com/ \
|       "set imap_user=third@xxxxxxxxx imap_pass=<pass3>"
|
| source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<defaultfile>
| folder-hook .         "source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<defaultfile>"
| folder-hook imap://(rodmur@)?imap\\.med\\.cornell\\.edu \
|       "source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<file0>"
| folder-hook imaps://(rodmur@gmail\\.com@)?imap\\.gmail\\.com \
|       "source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<file1>"
| folder-hook imaps://second@gmail\\.com@imap\\.gmail\\.com \
|       "source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<file2>"
| folder-hook imaps://third@gmail\\.com@imap\\.gmail\\.com \
|       "source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/<file3>"

    This way you can designate one default account per server, and have
to put account names in URLs only for other non-default accounts.


Bye!    Alain.
