Setting up multiple settings and/or mailboxes:
Multiple Users on one machine:
- ShareBox creates a list of users, each having their password protected, personal mailbox. To define a new user, after launching ShareBox, a user needs only to fill-in the requested fields in a dialog box. To access their personal mailbox, users simply select their name from the list of registered users, then type the required password. ShareBox lauches Eudora automatically, ready to use.
