Well, you can use multiple inboxes which get their mail from different
places if you wish.  C-u M-x rmail RET will prompt you for a mailbox
(you can choose a new, non-existing one here) to open, and once you're
in one, you can use M-x set-rmail-inbox-list to say what mailspools this
mailbox should read from.

This of course means you need to set up your mail to be split into
several spools via procmail or similar.
