     I use alpine. You have to think of every box, not just email, as a separate folder. You need to add the folders in the folder list incoming mail folders. So for example, your inbox would be one folder and sent mail another. So on and so forth for however many addresses you have.
     
     Be careful though.... if you want to remove a folder. I don't remember exactly how the issue works, but if you remove a folder in the wrong way, it'll remove the actual remote folder too.
     
     You can also use a custom editor too. I use vim. nvim doesn't wrap properly for some reason even with wrap set.

     It's a bit counter-intuituve compared to gui clients like thunderbird, because alpine doesn't automatically import folders from an account.
     
     You have to specifically point it at each folder and it treats each as if it was a separate account.

     Let me know if you have any issues with the setting. I can dig deeper into mine. It's been a while since I set it up, so I'd have to refresh my own memory. But alpine does work, and it's fairly customizable.

     I'm actually using mine with 365 mail. It works. Kinda impressive. It had the functionality before thunderbird.

     Might be worth looking into mbsync to pull copies down into their own directories.

     mbsync seems to work reasonably well if a person needs to access multiple types of email accounts. It also allows for use of different authentication methods for different accounts.

     It looks like isync is a similar option

     I believe isync is the name of the project and mbsync is the program. Not sure why the project name differs from the program name.

     It doesn't read mail though. Interesting. Reminds me of plan9. 🤔

     That's that I found. May require a wrapper script.

     1. Define Roles in Alpine
     
     Say you have folders:
     
     =Work
     
     =Personal
     
     
     Go to:
     
     Alpine > Setup > Rules > Roles > Add
     
     For Work:
     
     Current Folder: =Work
     
     Set From: you@work.com
     
     Signature File: .sig-work
     
     
     For Personal:
     
     Current Folder: =Personal
     
     Set From: you@gmail.com
     
     Signature File: .sig-personal
     
     
     This way, when you compose a message from =Work, the From is you@work.com, and similarly for Personal.
     
     2. Create sendmail-wrapper.sh
     
     This script determines which SMTP account to use based on the From header.
     
     #!/bin/bash
     
     MSGFILE="$1"
     FROM=$(grep -i "^From:" "$MSGFILE" | awk '{print $2}')
     
     if [[ "$FROM" == *"work.com" ]]; then
     /usr/bin/msmtp -a work "$@"
     elif [[ "$FROM" == *"gmail.com" ]]; then
     /usr/bin/msmtp -a personal "$@"
     else
     /usr/bin/msmtp -a default "$@"
     fi
     
     Make it executable:
     
     chmod +x ~/sendmail-wrapper.sh
     
     3. Configure Alpine to use the wrapper
     
     In Alpine:
     
     Setup > Config > sendmail-path
     
     Set it to:
     
     /home/youruser/sendmail-wrapper.sh

     I don't know if it'll work, but it's probably close.
