+Using several accounts
+======================
+
+Poezio does not support multi-accounts, and we do not plan to do so in a
+foreseeable future. However, you can run several poezio instances (e.g. with
+tmux or screen) to have similar functionnality.
+
+You can specify a different configuration file than the default with:
+
+[source, bash]
+ ./launch.sh -f separate_config.cfg
+
+
+The relevant options for a separate config are the following:
+
+* *plugins_dir*: A different directory for the plugin sources (not _that_ useful)
+* *log_dir*: A different directory for logs
+* *plugins_conf_dir*: A different directory for plugin configurations ; useful for the GPG plugin, for example.
+
+Those options are detailed in the link:../configure.html[configuration page].
