It's crude, but if there's no other option, it's probably possible to
save one choice of keypair, then cp that ~/.evolution directory, then
pick the other key with current ~/.evolution dir and mv that to
someplace else. Just ln -s ~/.my_evol_dir to ~/.evolution depending on
which keypair you wish to use :S. Crude... but, if it saves much time
frigging around you could have an icon launcher for it.

_IF_ this is the only possible solution then finding the correct
configuration would improve mailbox check time when switching accounts.
