Just configure one MUA to use both accounts. All good MUAs support this, I have Kmail using 3 different accounts and it works well.
Another option is to use Fetchmail to copy mail from other accounts to your preferred one, I use Fetchmail for another couple of email accounts that I don't want to setup in Kmail.
Here's how I solved it (but this solution won't suit everyone): 1. I bought a licence to a domain, jasonjgw.net. 2. I configured all of my other accounts to forward to jason@jasonjgw.net. 3. I configured my MUA to use this as the outbound address for all mail and also changed all mailing list subscriptions to use it. For people who have separate "work" and "non-work" identities, it's still possible to complete steps 1 and 2, then filter the messages as they arrive with Procmail, Maildrop or similar. Finally, configure the MUA to use a different outbound address depending on which folder is current (I think some will let you do this based on headers of the message to which you're replying, but folder-based address selection is still convenient for writing new messages that aren't replying to incoming mail). This arrangement generalizes in the obvious way to any number of distinct identities with distinct e-mail addresses.
