    You can "change role" so to speak and set custom settings depending on
    the current mailbox you have setup. You can look over my config if you
    like @ http://mindstorm.ath.cx:8080/configs/muttrc, keep in mind i can
    make it all look a lot prettier and get rid of some redundancy, but it
    will show you one of the ways it can be done.

    If there are any other Q's just ask, i will answer asap (usually within
    2 days) :)
