Not really. When editing messages, mutt invokes your editor and stays in
the background. There's no way to switch back. My kind-of-workaround is
to spawn another mutt (easy when using screen and having a keybinding
for that) and look up what I need. But I agree that this is a little bit
messy if you forget to mark mailboxes read-only ('%' on my system) when
opening them in several mutt instances at once.

That's what the 'alternates' feature and (send|folderi)-hooks are for.
You can use 'alternates' to tell mutt which addresses you have and 'set
reverse_name' to automatically use the To-Address of the mail you are
replying to (if this address is one of your 'alternate' addresses). For
new messages you have to use hooks.
