Well... no, it's really quite the opposite.  They *are* different
accounts - that's why you need to move stuff - but they have the same
(external) name, so you *think* of them as being the same.  This
probably doesn't actually help at this point, but after a week like
this one's been I'm grasping for an erroneous mental model that I might
be able to straighten out.  :-)

... Ah, and the word "accounts" helps muddy things, since it can apply
to the logical account (mailstore associated with some email address)
or a specific mailstore (where a certain mail system stores content for
that email address).  I think we both need to slip that word a little
something extra for working so hard here!
