Why multiple accounts on the same server?  Hmmm...  That's probably
not a useful question.  

Do you have (at least some) control over the server?  If so, then the
best thing to do is alias the different e-mail addresses all to one
user on the server, and then use procmail to filter mail to different
addresses into different folders.  

That's what I do.  I have multiple domains on the same mail server,
and numerous accounts in each domain, and they are all just aliases to
the same user.  Procmail filters them into various folders, either
based on who they were sent by, or which of my "accounts" they were
sent to.  You can then use folder hooks to make sure you reply with
the right address...
