With Thunderbird you aren't supposed to share an inbox. I have several 
accounts- each have their own inbox and folders- replies come from the 
account that the folder belongs to. Mixing and matching doesn't really 
sound like a good idea to me anyway.
Besides, this way I only have to configure the account, and all my mail 
comes with it- I don't have to setup this folder mapping for every 
computer I want to download mail to. I use IMAP though.
