Sharing the Mail Application
Is there any way to move the Mail folder (which is currently in everyone's personal libraries) to the hard disk, or preferably the system/library folder and then give the Mail application the new location of the account directory, for every user of my computer, so that we all have the same mail viewer with everyone's mailboxes.
At the moment we have to download all the mail we haven't seen, every time we check the mail, even if another user has already read it.
We don't ever recieve private emails but just for a little more privacy and security I hope it would work to set the access priveleges for the mailboxes in the Mail folder so only we could view our own emails

Like I said, no idea if that will work, but it might be worth a try. It works with iTunes.
To set it up just requires that you create an account in mail.app with the settings (username and password). Incoming mail server is mail.mac.com and outgoing mail server is smtp.mac.com. HTH.
