My wife has her own account and her own setup.

And you leave the mail in the IMAP folders?  Not local store?

Not quite.  When you have multiple personalites (ie mulitple email 
addresses) Eudora (and my limited experience with Outlook), all of 
the POPed mail ends up first in the in box.  There is only one.  From 
there you have to filter.

Eudora has had support for multiple accounts since v 5.  That came 
out a long time ago.  Actually what I am doing, I was told, is very 
PINE-like (it was a PINE user that helped me set this up initially)
