but I don't want to "change imap account". I want to have **more** than
one "open", whatever that means, at the **same** time. In Kmail, for
example, I have the folders in both the accounts displayed
simultaneously in the folder tree all the time, and I can move back
and forth from any folder on remote_server to any folder on
local_server without any problem. I only have, of course, to enter the
password for each account the first time I access its server. This is
the functionality I want to replicate in mutt and from reading this:

I understand it isn't possible in mutt, is it?

I don't want to do that. The local_folder is for backup only, I need
"live", day-to-day use folders to stay on the remote server. Yes, I
know there are tools to keep two IMAP accounts in sync, but I'd really
rather avoid that road, for several reasons, and find a mutt-only way
to get what I need, considering other clients can do it.
