Well, I use the Postfix MTA (Mail Transport Agent) which allows rewriting of
mail head names, inbount or outboud. I can see how to rewite the three
different inbound names to Bob's single account, but there is only one
output rule for a single user.

When I send mail outbound from my bittwister account, Postfix changes the
From: bittwister@xxxxxxxxxxxx to my_addy@xxxxxxxxxx

You misunderstand. What I want is a email GUI which allows me to skim what
is essentially output from some glorified MTA, which retrieves and sorts
email. I'm not asking about the MTA.

Now the email will come in for different users, but I will have a
separate mailbox for different "aspects" of a user.

So Bob Smith has three mailboxes ( and three or more email addresses ).
One for RobertSmith for serious stuff ( work, church, profesional
organisations, ...)
continuing...
One for BobSmith for more casual email ( clubs, friends ).
One for BobbySmith for very informal email (
mothers,grandmothers,aunts,girlfriends).

Retrieving and sorting is no problem.

What I want is a gui client that works on individual mailboxes and sends
email with paramters based on which mailbox.

I can read my mail via mail (command line) or thunderbird (gui).
I'll give Thunderbird a try.
