Similar to Switchies (Switchies For Stickies), Switchies For Mail is a little Mac application that will let you switch from one set of Mail accounts to another under the same user account. Using Switchies For Mail, you can create and maintain different categories of Mail accounts without switching users. Why not separating business-related Mail accounts from personal Mail accounts?
