I am using what Patrick suggests with different accounts. For
example, my fetchmail config file:

set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
set no bouncemail
poll pop.correo.yahoo.es protocol POP3 service 110  
        user "user" password "password" fetchall 
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -a YAHOO -d %T"
poll pop3.auna.com protocol POP3 service 110  
        user "user@xxxxxxxxx" password "password" fetchall 
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -a MENTA -d %T"
poll pop.gmail.com protocol POP3 service 995 
        user "user@xxxxxxxxx" password "password" fetchall 
        ssl
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -a GMAIL -d %T"
poll imap.uab.es protocol IMAP service 143 
        user "user" password "password" fetchall 
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -a UAB -d %T"
poll localhost protocol IMAP
        user "user" password "password"
        fetchall no rewrite 
        folder IN.Spam_Fallat
        mda "/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam"

Procmail sorts my messages by folders, account (I have -a YAHOO -d %T to pass 
the account variable to procmail) , spam, ... in the ~/.maildir folder. I have 
setup the .maildir folder as an imap server (before my laptop, I used to 
connect to my home IMAP server to read my messages), and I tell mutt to read my 
local imap server:

set folder=imap://localhost
set imap_user=user
set imap_pass=password
set imap_authenticators=login

Cheers!
