the config uses a section called "account" and each subsection defines an account.
each account subsection may have an "abook" subsubsection to define the abook for this account.
here's what I use myself:

```
#.. global configs

[accounts]

    [[gmail]]
        realname = Patrick Totzke
        address = patricktotzke@gmail.com
        aliases = patricktotzke@googlemail.com,
        sendmail_command = msmtp --account=gmail -t
        draft_box = "maildir:///home/pazz/mail/gmail/[Google Mail].Drafts"
        sent_box = "maildir:///home/pazz/mail/gmail/[Google Mail].Sent Mail"
        [[[abook]]]
          command = nottoomuch-addresses.sh
          regexp = (\"(?P<name>.+)\")?\s*<(?P<email>.*@.+?)>

     [[uni]]
        #...
```

No: this is used when you are prompted for recipients when composing a mail:
Hit `m`, select your account if you have more thn one, and when the prompt says
"To:" you

In your $PATH.
alot hands this command string to `subprocess.Popen`, which accepts
command names to to look them up in $PATH or absolute paths to binaries
if i'm not mistaken.
