I use several identities, i.e. one with my private email and one with 
my university one. Since PGP keys are somewhat bound to one email 
addy, I have created one key for each identity to be able to sign 
mails sent with either identity. However, IMP does only allow _one_ 
key pair for the hole account. Thus, I cannot work both identities 
equally featured at once.

I suggest giving IMP the ability to handle one key pair per identity 
and automatically choose the fitting one for both signing and 
decrypting messages.
