Discovering Than Several Accounts Belong To One Person

I run two Tor clients. One client is configured normally, which I use 
for web browsing etc. The other has the option 'MaxCircuitDirtiness 0' 
which makes Tor set up a new route for every connection request. That 
way when I start Thunderbird and get my mail, my 3 accounts on the same 
website make 3 connection requests and get 3 separate routes with 
separate exit nodes. Now, an observer will still be able to see that an 
account is always accessed within a few seconds of 2 other accounts, but 
I think this is unlikely to be noticed.
