Yes, you can use a filter that is shared across accounts to filter
into a folder in an account that is appropriate for that sender. This
way, if you reply, you already reply from the appropriate account.
There is no need to filter into a common Inbox.

Then you should not have a problem - unless you mix everything into a
common Inbox, which was the problem reported.

Why? I leave those messages just in the account they arrived at. If
there is a reason to have them (automatically) moved to another
account, I'll create a filter for that. Creating a filter to move them
to a common Inbox does not seem to be logical to me - you will still
have to assign an account to send from when you reply, so it's double
handling aqnd inefficient.

Yes, the status line lets you change the accout too. I just noticed.
