Hi Todd,

I tested a variation of the config you provided using two IMAP
accounts (neither of them Gmail, though, but that shouldn't
matter). The main difference from the config you posted is that
where you had 'folder-hook' lines that change
'imap_oauth_refresh_command' and 'smtp_oauth_refresh_command':

     folder-hook imaps://[email protected]:993 'set imap_oauth_refresh_command="~/bin/mutt_oauth2.user1.py ~/.mutt/user1.tokens"'
     folder-hook imaps://[email protected]:993 'set smtp_oauth_refresh_command="~/bin/mutt_oauth2.user1.py ~/.mutt/user1.tokens"'

the config I used had 'account-hook' likes that instead changed
'imap_user' and 'imap_pass':

     account-hook "${my_account1_imap_url_base}" 'set imap_user="${my_account1_username}"'
     account-hook "${my_account1_imap_url_base}" 'set imap_pass="${my_account1_app_pass}"'

I haven't used the *_oauth_refresh_command settings, but because
they are authentication-related, I suspect you may want to be
setting them from an 'account-hook' rather than from a
'folder-hook'.
