get mail from all contexts

[i***@gmail.com]

Hi, I guess I lost something on a conceptional level.

I have multiple accounts and I use context for them just as described in
the documentation. And everything works except, when mu4e does update, it
updates only messages for a current context.
That's not what I want, because this way, I have to manually switch between
all my context and update emails for them. That's stupid.
What I've missed?

At least in my configuration, the context is only relevant for *writing*
mails, mu4e update does not change based on the context. What variables
do you set when changing context (i.e. how does your :vars for the
context look like)?

Hi,
I've put almost all variables in contexts. I guess, that's why it works
this way.

There is my config: https://pastebin.com/QcheTFSt

What I can do with that?

Seems to me that mu should update just fine, you just switch the
maildir all the time. Maybe set maildir to ~/Maildir and leave it at
that? Then you have different folders for your different identities and
can view the correct subset with saved searches.

Thank a lot. It works. Now, out of context

(setq mu4e-maildir "~/Maildir")

in context
:vars '((user-mail-address . "***@domain.name")
(user-full-name . "Me")
(mu4e-sent-folder . "domain/sent")
(mu4e-drafts-folder . "domain/drafts")
(mu4e-trash-folder . "domain/trash")
(mu4e-refile-folder . "domain/archive")
