Or you can list the username, hostname and password for these to make it
easier. I'm using IMAP with mutt so I've got the following in .muttrc,
with these you can just use the c key to browse mailboxes available on
your imap server (though I've found mutt doesn't like email in the
top-level inbox folder).

set folder="imap://hostname/INBOX"
set imap_user=me
set imap_pass=password
# set which mailboxes to check for new mail (and list on startup with -y)
mailboxes =mbox =ylug =CPAN =root =northukfurs =yahoo =nelug =bogofilter

Welcome to the mutt community, I've been using it for 4 years now and
nothing else comes close (though thunderbird's not bad as a GUI client).
