Bonjour,

for using the same key pair/certificate for sending signed e-mail from
multiple mail accounts all you need is to enter as many e-mail addresses
as you want in the line for subjectAltName
(email:your_email_1,email:your_email_2 and so on).

This works only to give the recipient the ability to check whether the
signature fits the sender addresses.

In order to encrypt your emails you need the certificates of the
recipients - your keys and certificate aren't used for it.

Amicalement
Willy
