It would be cool if the concept of 'Master User' could be expanded on to 
provide access to only certain other accounts, as opposed to full 
domains (or maybe it does alreaqdy and I just don't understand it well 
enough yet).

For example, we have Sales Assistants in our offices, where each 
assistant may assist up to 3 or 4 different Sales reps. It would be nice 
to be able to give the Assistant read-only access to the Sales Reps 
emails without having to set up shared folders for each one...
