 To check other folders besides your basic inbox, you can manually set the mailbox names in ''.muttrc'' or you can have it automatically fetch all folders from the IMAP server. You can also show the sidebar to see what folder you're currently looking in.

 If you want to include a generic rc file within your account specific file, use ''source'' to load the other scripts source. For example:

 I read that there is a way to map a key-bind to toggle switching between mailboxes like this but I'm not sure how. Press ''?'' in mutt to pull up the commands. Probably something like "load rc file" followed by "sync mailbox imap".
