mutt-1.4.2.3i: Settings taken from wrong account-hook entry

[Paul Gilmartin]

If I have multiple IMAP mailboxes in my .muttrc, mutt uses only the account-hook for the last mailbox appearing in .muttrc.

For example, mutt uses only the "from" address corresponding to "foo.bar.com", regardless which account in the following .muttrc I connect to:

# experimental mutt initialization file

color indicator  black  yellow
color normal     black  white
color index      black  cyan .

set delete=ask-no
set move=no
set certificate_file=~/work/.mutt/certificates
set sort=reverse-date-sent

# IMAP settings
#
mailboxes \
    /proj/sysadmin/mail/gilmap \
    imap://PaulGBoulder@imap.aim.com \
    imaps://pg187608@mail-amer.sun.com \
    imap://wombat@foo.bar.com \

account-hook . 'unset imap_user imap_pass from record'

account-hook mail-amer.sun.com \
    'set from=Paul.Gilmartin@sun.com \
         record="imaps://pg187608@mail-amer.sun.com/Sent Messages"'

account-hook foo.bar.com \
    'set from=gilmap@unix.stortek.com \
         record="/home/normau/gilmap/Mail/sent"

account-hook imap.aim.com \
    'set from=PaulGBoulder@AIM.com \
     record="imap://PaulGBoulder@imap.aim.com/Sent Messages"'
gilmap@tolvar:277$ 

Thanks,

gil

You've certainly misunderstood the use for account-hook vs.
folder-hook, rtfm again, see also

If this solves it for you, please close this report.

Uses account-hooks where folder-hooks are required. No response from submitter.
