[Dovecot] Multiple Logins on same accounts from different stations, RE-POSTING

[Daniel Reinhardt]

In all honesty with this setup, I would recommend that you setup a
sales at domain alias account and put these 4 accounts within that alias.
Each user would then get a single copy of the message, and would prevent
accidental deletion by another user.

It is never wise to allow multiple people to login to one account from
multiple locations.  One user can move data to another folder and another
user may not like that other persons method of organization.
