Yes.  My MULTIMAIL.APM has included this function for about 18 months now.
However, it is presently unavailable.
BUT - you can accomplish the same thing manually, if you:

1 - copy your existing ARACHNE.CFG to three files, called "personal.acf",
    "business.acf", and "spammail.acf".  You can change the names later,
    if you want to do so.
2 - Set up the POP/SMTP email lines in these files to match the different
    usernames/passwords you use in three different email accounts.
3 - Add these lines near the bottom of MAIL.HTM:

       <HR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
       <FONT COLOR=WHITE>Change Profile :</FONT>
       <FORM ACTION="file:personal.acf">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
       <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="PERSONAL">
       <FORM ACTION="file:business.acf">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
       <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="BUSINESS">
       <FORM ACTION="file:spammail.acf">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
       <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="SPAMMAIL">
       <P>

You can get the mail from the first account, then, while still on-line,
click the button for a different account, and get the mail there. Do it
again for the third account, all while on-line.  Sending SMTP is just as
easy for the three accounts.

Arachne ignores properly-written javascript.  ( Badly written scripts
may crash it.)  However, Michael apparently has commissioned someone to
write a javascript interpreter for it - so you will see javascript work
in Arachne, eventually.

Javascript is nothing more than a way for the HTML to access some existing
variables within the browser program, declare a limited amount of new
variables for that HTML webpage alone, and manipulate those variables.
( e.g. - something written to "document.write" will display on the page.)
