[Sigia-l] Mac mail packages

[Todd Warfel]

Your original message stated "different Mail accounts," which is what  
I was referring to. Now, if you had added that you wanted different  
accounts, where you could prevent one person from seeing the other  
accounts, then that's different. That's where you'd want to use the  
Parental Control feature in the System Prefs. You create another  
"system account" that allows you to provide/limit access to the  
system, individual apps, and even websites (s)he can access.
