Back when I could use my work computer for both work and personal email I used to use something like this:

(cond ((string= (getenv "WHEREAMI") "work")
       (; set up select methods, outgoing mail server etc for work email))
      (t (; set up select methods, outgoing mail server etc for personal
            email)))
