Good to know - thank you.

Good question, I will look into that. The reason I am setting him up with a secondary client is that his Outlook file was getting immensely bloated with copies of all our emails. It got to the point where he couldn't even use the program (when I first got in there to clean things up, it took a couple of minutes to even open a window in Outlook).

I'm not that smart (I don't even know what a VM System is). I think it would be better for him to have a different look so that he doesn't confuse whether he is in his own email or the copy email.

No (intentionally). But in reality, only one other person besides me would even know how to change their password.
BTW, how I set this up is that in the Go Daddy admin settings, I created a "copy" account for each person (kevincopy@domain for example). All incoming emails to each of our accounts is cc'ed to our respective "copy" accounts. His email is set up to download the email from each of these copy accounts.
I was going to set it up so that all of us would just leave our emails on the server for a certain period of time and set up his email so that he pulled the same email messages from the server (a much simpler solution). However, a tech that came in told him that somebody could (from their own email client) delete the message (
). So that idea got nixed. So much for keeping it simple.
