I looked at this and you're right, the server address is the primary key
(together with the port).  Can you explain what's broken if you just
subscribe to both mailboxes?  Do the two mailboxes have different user
names and passwords?  Can you use a DNS alias (CNAME) to point to the
second server, or maybe run on a different port while we figure this
out?
