Multiple IMAP accounts

[stef]

Hi,

Mutt newbie here; please bear with me.

Guys,

I have been using GUI email clients for years (mostly Mozilla Thunderbird
lately) but am sick of GUI's, etc.

I really like Mutt and would love to be able to switch to it completely.

I have setup my first IMAP email account, using TLS/SSL and all is fine.

Crime of crimes and blasphemy, I also installed ssmtp and use that
package to send emails using smtp authentication, etc.

Reason I used ssmtp was for simplicity's sake (as a newbie).

I do have sendmail, procmail and postfix installed or can obviously get
the packages but I still don't know how to configure them; and figured I
should tackle the Mutt beast 1 step at a time.

So, my question is:

I would like to be able to see ALL of my IMAP accounts in Mutt--I use
several personal and business email accounts and have not figured out at
all how to do that.

I have searched Google, asked in the irc group and the only option I have
found so far is:

<http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/~mara/mutt/muttprofile.html>

Before putting in the time to decipher that page and instructions--which
believe me is not easy for a newbie at Mutt [and Linux for that matter],
I wanted to check with you and see what was recommended to accomplish
what I need:

Using Mutt with 10+ IMAP email accounts.

I also read something about folder hooks (?) but not sure at all which is
easiest most convenient to setup.

Thanks for your help.

Have a look at the wiki -> guide -> imap, see also UserStories imap
