Hi Mikael and guys,

Thank for the tip.  It would work fine, if there wasn't a problem:
_mailboxes has a _mailbox_cache variable that would prevent the code to
evaluate again even in another context.  The workaround I came up with
is:

    compdef -e 'curcontext=:complete:mutt:w:; _mutt; unset _mailbox_cache' muttw

This is not beautiful but it works.

Is a patch to make _mailboxes work with different contexts and yet be
efficient (working with different cache for different context)
desirable?

Thank you very much!
