That's ok so far as downloading mail from your mailbox (in fact, with the
same ISP and different email accounts I do:
fetchmail -u the_account_ID
and I get asked for that account's password) but, how about sending messages
from different addresses?
Your mail client should allow you to set the From: address as you
please. Some, like mutt, provide mechanisms for setting this based upon
features of the message being sent. Which client are you using?
Actually, I'm using mutt... how would I do that? and also, how do I set the
colours so that different headers, signatures, quoted lines, etc in a
message are seen in different colours? I think I have most colour options
in my .muttrc file activated:

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# ME's personal .muttrc (Mutt 0.92.5)
# Note: $folder should be set _before_ any other path vars where `+' or `='
# is used because paths are expanded when parsed
