I mean "machine" will still be the server name but VM will also pass an optional (account "xyz") query parameter to auth-source-user-or-password, which will find "account xyz" in the netrc file. I'll add another optional parameter QUERIES to auth-source-user-or-password. It will be an alist. When a query is not specified you'd still get the first match (thus it's backwards compatible). Does all that sound reasonable?
Adding a QUERIES parameter is good but I would urge you to allow (login "xyz") as a possible query.
For looking up email passwords, the "account" attribute seems like an overkill. What would users put as their "account", if not their login id? Since they are already using the "login" parameter to write their login id, it seems like unnecessary duplication.
Thanks for all your help! Cheers, Uday
