Instead of using separate MH mailboxes for each account, you could create
sub-folders under Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Queue, and Trash which correspond to
your accounts and configure each account to use the correct ones. This keeps
your account mail distinct. I find this easier to manage than having separate
mailboxes for each account, maybe you will too.

Use the options on the Advanced page of the Account Preferences to set these
folders, (and the Receive page to set the Inbox).

I don't know what your problem is, but all the keyboard shortcuts work here,
including Control-return for editing an address.
