- Multi configuration allows users to create individual
- preferences and switch users on the fly without having to
- perform a complex work around. This is useful in a home or
- classroom where each user of Internet Mail and News needs to
- have a personal copy of their Internet Mail and News folders
- and address book. You can switch easily between users using
- the Switch User command in the Edit menu. Internet Mail and
- News can be configured to prompt you for your personal POP
- account password when you log on, preventing others from
- easily accessing your account.
-
- Internet Mail and News does not lock people out of the file
- system. Anyone who has access to the finder can see other
- user files and change, add or delete information. Multiple
- configuration support is designed to be used with a software
- program like Apple Computer's At Ease, which restricts
- access to the Finder. See http://www.apple.com for more
- information about At Ease.
-
- To set up multiple configurations:
-
- 1. On the Edit menu, choose Switch User.
- 2. Click New.
- 3. Type in a name for the new user and click OK. A user
- folder for the new user is created and Internet Mail and
- News switches to this folder.
- 4. Enter the preferences settings for this user
- 5. Click OK.
-
- Once multiple configurations are set up, use the Switch User
- command to change users. If the user selected has the
- password preference on, a Password dialog box will appear
- when the program is started and the POP password will need
- to be typed before proceeding.
-
- When you create a new configuration, a folder with the
- user's name is added to the IMN User(s) folder
- in the Internet Mail and News application folder.
-
- For more information on setting up Internet Mail and News
- with multiple configurations, choose Internet Mail and News
- Help from the Help menu, and then click the Preferences
- link.
