"Create a context with sane defaults (see `make-mu4e-context').
Also:
- Add the context to the `mu4e-contexts'.
- Update the bookmarks to ignore the trash folder if NO-TRASH-FLAG is non-nil.
- Update the `mu4e-user-mail-address-list'.
Options beyond those of `make-mu4e-context':
- `user-mail-address': Defaults to the global value when the context is created.
- `smtpmail-smtp-user': Defaults to the global value if non-nil when the context
is created, or the context `user-mail-address' otherwise.
- `maildir': Mailbox folder name in as stored in `mu4e-maildir' (just the name,
there must be no '/'). Defaults to `name'.
- `drafts-folder': Context value of `mu4e-drafts-folder'. Defaults to
\"drafts\".
- `sent-folder': Context value of `mu4e-sent-folder'. Defaults to \"sent\".
- `trash-folder': Context value of `mu4e-trash-folder'. Defaults to \"trash\".
- `refile-folder': Context value of `mu4e-refile-folder'. Defaults to
\"refile\".
- `no-trash-flag': If non-nil, the maildir will be added to
`mu4e-move-to-trash-patterns' so that trashing moves the message instead of flagging.
- `predicate': A function that takes a message and returns non-nil if it matches
the context. This is only used if `match-func' is not provided, in which case
the context is always matched against the message folder.
Example of a mailbox where only the sent-folder differs from the
default folders (see `make-mu4e-context' and `mu4e-context'):

@node Trashing messages
@section Trashing messages
For regular mailboxes, trashing works like other marks: when executed,
the message is flagged as trashed. Depending on your mailbox provider,
the trash flag is used to automatically move the message to the trash
folder (@code{mu4e-trash-folder}) for instance.
Some mailboxes behave differently however and they don't interpret the
trash flag. In cases like Gmail, the message must be @emph{moved} to
the trash folder and the trash flag must not be used.
@code{mu4e} has provisions for non-standard mailboxes: if a message
maildir matches a regular expression in
@code{mu4e-move-to-trash-patterns} then the message is moved instead of
being flagged. When a context is created with
@code{make-mu4e-context-account} (see @ref{Account setup helper}), the
pattern is automatically added for you.
This should work fine for Gmail and similar mailboxes. Note that in the
case of Gmail, you might have to configure your mailbox ``expunge''
settings.

@node Account setup helper
@section Account setup helper
Contexts can be cumbersome to set up. Thankfully @code{mu4e} provides a
helper function @code{make-mu4e-context-account} to easily get started.
The function helps initializing the context plus a couple of variables
with sane defaults.
Everything should work out of the box in most cases.
A short example for two contexts:
@lisp
(let ((gandi-smtp-vars '((smtpmail-smtp-server . "mail.gandi.net")
(smtpmail-stream-type . starttls)
(smtpmail-smtp-service . 587))))
(make-mu4e-context-account
:name "personal"
:user-mail-address "john@doe.xyz"
:sent-folder "Sent"
:vars gandi-smtp-vars)
(make-mu4e-context-account
:name "work"
:user-mail-address "john@work.org"
:sent-folder "Sent"
:predicate (lambda (msg)
(mu4e-message-contact-field-matches
msg '(:from :to) "boss@work.org"))
:vars gandi-smtp-vars))
@end lisp
A couple of things to note:
@itemize
@item Only the @code{name} slot is mandatory.
@item The maildir default to the context name.
@item Folders only need to be given a name, not a relative path.
They will be automatically stored under the maildir.
@item When the @code{match-func} is not provided, the context is matched
against @code{predicate} if provided or the maildir of the current
message otherwise.
@end itemize
If the context created by @code{make-mu4e-context-account} is not
enough, you can display the generated context with e.g. @code{M-x
describe-variable mu4e-contexts} and tweak the result as needed.
