[Linux-disciples] mutt: multiple folders/spoolfiles/etc.

Does anyone have any experience using mutt with multiple
folders and spoolfiles? In my particular case, I want to use
it to check both a work IMAPS account and a home one. Right
now -- with, admittedly, not much digging -- I'm using a
hack: I have a file with the 'set folder' option and so
forth for work, and one for home, and I just do

> #!/bin/sh
> muttrc_base=${HOME}/.base.muttrc
> muttrc_work=${HOME}/.work.muttrc
> 
> cat $muttrc_work $muttrc_base > ~/.muttrc
> mutt

I call that file "work_mutt.sh"; I likewise have a
"home_mutt.sh".

Is there a better way?
