yes.  you can have as many mailboxes open as you wish.
once upas/fs is running, you can
	u = user@mail.example.com
	l = label
	echo open /imaps/imap.gmail.com/$u/$l $l>/mail/fs/ctl

in fact if labels is a list you could
	for(i in $labels)
		echo open /imaps/imap.gmail.com/$u/$i $i>/mail/fs/ctl

side note:
upas/nedmail's rules for when to open an already
open folder confused me a little bit.  i changed the
nupas version to prefer an already-open folder over
one in /mail/box/$user to ease using a secondary
imap mailbox.
