How well does mutt work with multiple accounts though? Last I saw it seemed more cumbersome than Alpine for that.

That I'm not 100% sure of. I know for receiving, you'd just configure OfflineIMAP to deliver each account's messages into a different folder, and just switch between them in Mutt, but I don't know how it would work for distinct from-addresses, contact lists, etc.
Some quick googling[1] makes it look like you indeed do that first thing, and then set up a hook to load a different configuration file when you enter the folder for a different mailbox.

I stopped using mutt a while ago, but I just used separate config files for every mail account and a bash alias to launch mutt for each one.
Unless you actually need to do things like move entire e-mail threads between accounts, it works well enough.
