What you want is indeed feasible. You can use, for example, Eudora Light
(to download: <http://www.eudora.com>), and set up different Preferences
sets for each of your users; you can then call Eudora by using the
appropriate Preferences file (or an alias of this file in the Apple
Menu, for example). The only problem is that Eudora will allow only one
Preferences file open at a time; you have to close Eudora and open it
again using one of the other Preferences files when a different user
wants to read his/her mail.
