Partial Config File (let me know if you need more):
{
[general]
accounts = JEmailTransfer
maxsyncaccounts = 3
ui = TTYUI
#Blinkenlights
ignore-readonly = no
socktimeout = 60
[mbnames]
enabled = no
filename = ~/Mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
header = "mailboxes "
peritem = "+%(accountname)s/%(foldername)s"
sep = " "
footer = "\n"
[Account JEmailTransfer]
localrepository = WGmail
remoterepository = MGmail
autorefresh = 5
quick = 3
[Repository MGmail]
type = Gmail
remoteuser = M at gmail.com
realdelete = no
readonly = False
[Repository WGmail]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
ssl = yes
remoteuser = W at gmail.com
realdelete=no
readonly = False
}

Please and thank you.  Any help in the right direction would be amazon.
