The way I have done it, because I use maildir's (through offlineimap)
under ~/Mail, my folder-hook's are simply
folder-hook <foldername1> set from="me@account1"
folder-hook <foldername2> set from="me@account2"
folder-hook <foldername3> set from="me@account3"
I have not tried this with GMail account or similar yet, but if I get
a chance to, I'll let you know what I find.
