Best practice recommendation for multi account usage

[Alex]

Hi.

I write this email via Thunderbird because I have several accounts which
I need to mange.

In Thunderbird can you have several tabs which makes the overview of the
Accounts quite easy.

I have setuped mutt to work with every account separately but then I
don't get a notification when new mail is arrived in different accounts.

/home/alex/mutt/bin/mutt -F /datadisk/mail/muttrc/.account1-muttrc
/home/alex/mutt/bin/mutt -F /datadisk/mail/muttrc/.account2-muttrc

As I'm not the mutt expert maybe somebody can point me to a suggestion
or give me a tip how a possible solution could be.

I try to get the latest mutt.

Thanks for any help.
