Not to sound like a broken record, but the blocker for implementing this
has always been -- at least for me -- Bonobo.

Assuming we take an Outlook-like approach of adding a drop-down menu to
the "Send/Receive" button with all your accounts listed, that would mean
generating the menu dynamically, and doing that with libbonoboui would
be a real pain in the back-end.

With Bonobo gone in 2.29 we're finally using normal GTK+ toolbars and
menus, so this is much more feasible now.  It's probably not going to
happen for 2.30 because I'm too focused on cleaning up regressions from
my massive UI rewrite.  But as always, feature requests can be expedited
by submitting patches or sometimes just some well-designed UI mockups.

In this case the bug to follow is:
