Converting Eudora to Mail: Personalities

My wife and I both use Eudora's personalities to access more than one
mailbox on our ISP. As well as I can tell. Apple Mail has no such
capability. If I'm right, what is the usual way of handling this? Is
there another mail application that has something like personalities?

Eudora's personalities are now "Preferences -> Accounts" in Apple Mail.

I do not remember that feature. Are you talking about a single account

that is using two mailboxes to fake two accounts?
I suspect it's just two accounts, and Mail app certainly supports that
(I have about a dozen accounts configured, though I generally used only
five).

No reason to that as you can create one with a not ambiguous name

many accounts as you want in Apple Mail, each pointing to its own email
service/server.
Here's an Apple help page showing how to do it:

are outside my home folders or /Users/Shared for fear that they might
get blown away by some future system update or upgrade. My approach to
third party items that I don't want to see in /Users/Shared is to make
them invisible and to exclude them from backup scripts. I admit that's
not as elegant as a folder in /Users, but I think it's safer.

My /Users/Shared has one file and six folders that I didn't put there.

The proper place for all of them should have been one of the Library
folders; but at least VueScan and iStat Menus mitigate the offense by
making theirs invisible with dots and EyeTV by putting its files in a
/Users/Shared/Library/Preferences folder. I suppose we have to be
content that developers have (mostly) stopped dumping things in
~/Documents.

app, but no more).
As I said, I do not have anything in /Users/Shared that I didn't put
there myself.

/Users/Shared/Battle.net and /Users/Shared/Blizzard which is updated
regularly, including several applications.
I have several other applications that have put stuff in
/Users/Shared/Library and several more that have put visible folders in
/Users/Shared (some containing hidden files). Also a few ancient hidden
ones dating back to Tiger/Leopard, most of which I can't identify.
Apple also puts hidden files in /Users/Shared relating to beta programme
enrollment, and iTunes/iBooks Store has some obscurely named hidden
folders "SC Info" and "adi". My copy of the latter hasn't been modified
since 2016 but SC Info was updated recently.

This is not quite true. Eudora's personalities were much more powerful.
You could actually have multiple personalities for a single account.
Each personality could identify itself in different ways. So they might
have different name fields, different signatures, etc. But all using the
same single e-mail account.
