Multiple accounts (using Gmail)

With two accounts I'm using an account-hook.

    account-hook . \
        'unset imap_user
        unset imap_pass'

    account-hook imaps://imap.example.com/ \
        'set imap=user=bill
        set imap_pass=password'

    account-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com/ \
        'set imap_user=user
        set imap_pass=password'

This works ok for connecting and reading mail.

When I send mail from my normal account I want to send using my local
MTA (Postfix), and when sending from my Gmail email address I want to
use the Gmail SMTP server.

    folder-hook . \
        unset smtp_url

    folder-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com/ \
        set smtp_url=smtps://user@xxxxxxxxx:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Is that the correct approach?  Actually, seems I'd want to also base
that on which From: email address I use.  send-hook looks at the
recipients according to the manual.  What do I use for matching on the
From: header?


Now, I'm also having a problem with mailbox setup where the message
counts are not shown.  I'm new to Gmail IMAP support so not 100% sure
this is correct:

mailboxes \
    imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX \
    "imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail" \
    imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts \
    "imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail" \
    imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Spam \
    imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Stared \
    imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Trashed

But, the mailbox view show these all with zero counts:

    01 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail
    02 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts
    03 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail
    04 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Spam
    05 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Stared
    06 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Trashed
    07 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX

If I visit a mailbox (e.g. Spam), then the counts will later show up:

    01 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail
    02 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts
    03 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail
    04 598 imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Spam
    05 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Stared
    06 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Trashed
    07 0  imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX


Is that expected?

Thanks,
