Thanks very much for the explanation. It clarifies very much the issue
for me. The key question is then, changing the imap connection.

Somehow, I am unable to change the current imap connection. I have tried the
push command at the end of my 'source' file without success.
I had previosly adapted what was suggested in the mutt wiki
(http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttGuide/UseIMAPadapted):
account-hook . 'unset preconnect imap_user imap_pass imap_authenticators'
account-hook imap://localhost 'source ~/.mutt/Comptes/joanet_account'
account-hook imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx 'source ~/.mutt/Comptes/uab_account'
folder-hook imap://localhost 'source ~/.mutt/Comptes/joanet_folder'
folder-hook imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx 'source ~/.mutt/Comptes/uab_folder'
In ~/.mutt/Comptes/uab_account I have:
set spoolfile=imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx
set imap_user=user
set imap_pass=password
set imap_authenticators=login
In ~/.mutt/Comptes/uab_folder I have:
set folder=imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx:143
When I change folder with 'c' (change folder) '?' (list of folders) '<tab>'
(list of accounts) and selecte the imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx, mutt shows it is
connecting to this imap acount and shows it in the status bar (it shows the
folder imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx).
If I issue the command: :set ?folder, I get:
folder="imap://localhost/"
Neither repeating manually the <change-folder> nor setting the variable with
:set folder=imap://user@xxxxxxxxxxx allows to see the list of folders of the
new imap connection (I am unable to change my current imap connection).
After your explanation, it is clear to me that I was unable to change
the imap connection. Is there any other form of changing between two imap
connection when
inside of mutt?
After playing for a while, I believe I will stay with what Cristobal and Dale
have suggested in this thread:
1.- To create a muttrc definition for each account that sources the
rest of the general muttrc.
2.- To start mutt with mutt -F 'muttrc account definition'
After trying, I believe this may be the easiest approach while, at the same
time, offering a common configuration for all the accounts.
Thanks everybody for your help!!
