AFAIK, you would have to create a separate account for each "From:" email
address. I have not tested this, on an IMAP account, with MS Outlook
Express. I am looking at one of my identities which has two IMAP accounts,
aim.com, and aosake.net. Each has its own folder tree. MSOE gives me a drop
down menu to select a "From:" email address, and I have more than the two
IMAP email addresses (there being a couple of POP3 accounts in the mix);
but I can't see how to create additional "From:" email addresses within a
given IMAP account. I don't know, but that you would wind up with a
different folder tree for each IMAP account. I suspect, though, that you
might run into some oddities with more than one MSOE IMAP tree pointing to
the same IMAP account; assuming that MSOE would actually allow multiple
copies of a single IMAP account in a single identity.

MS Outlook Express is a free mail client, offered with MS Internet
Explorer. Both are older than Methuselah, and have been showing it for a
couple of years. For what you are trying to accomplish, perhaps a different
mail client is in order.
