More accurately, "sourcing the other account" does not affect/change 
the CURRENT imap connection. Issuing <change-folder> is done (by 
default) within the current connection.

Or, put another way, simply changing the value of $folder DOES NOT 
cause mutt to open a new connection. NOR does issuing <change-folder>.

In order to finish the change, you have to tell mutt to change the 
current connection. For example, you could add the following to the 
end of the account file you're sourcing:

     push <change-folder>=<enter>

That would tell mutt to actually connect to the other server (or, if 
already connected, to make that connection the current connection).
