I might be dimm, but what's that you're after?  You see, the From
header is there to indicate who wrote the email, not in what pop-box
the mail has been.

Or (starting to guess) are you using fetchmail to retrieve the mails
from those two pop-accounts and do you want to preserve somewhere
through what pop box the mail came?

Or (more guessing) do you seek for ways to adjust your From header
whilst replying depending on some attribute of the mail you're
replying to (like through what pop box / ISP it came to you)?
