Seems *not* to be different to me, since the messages containing the
discussions of the *same* mathematical problems arrive to all three of them:-)
Technically, it's different, but for *me* as a mathematician <g> they aren't...

The only technically possible option would be to redirect all these streams to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (UUCP account), but this wouldn't be the thing I want
to do.

The point is that this message has to be *stored* in the same folder as other
messages dealing with the same problem, but such messages come to all
three of my accounts.

I do not use the mouse when working with my mail. So your idea won't work
for me.

What you are calling a problem is a style of working for me, which permits me
to have the things done. Dixi.

Nope, it wouldn't. The overall structure of the program would remain the same,
what's suggested by me is the following. Why not permit each account (in
properties) to have more then one POP3/SMTP settings pair? That's about all.
All the rest would remain as it is, only an extra macro to be added:
%POSTUSINGPOPSERVER="whatever"
How this would require you to change *your* style?
