I've just taken a look at your approach, and integrated it on my end.

It's working to switch accounts - do I not need 'account-hook' or 'folder-hook'
with this approach?

However, I'm still finding my Drafts in the wrong account, or deleted items in
the wrong account.

I should mention - I'm using DavMail on a remote server, sync'd with `mbsync`to
a local Dovecot IMAP <-> IMAP setup, where Neomutt on my local machine then
accesses those mailboxes.

Bit complex, but I think it should work? Maybe my Dovecot config is to blame..

Best wishes,
