Click Prefs > Owners to access the panel which controls the Multiple Owners feature of Ezian.  Here you can:

1. Create a password so that access to your Ezian mailbox and accounts is private.  You can also change your password here at any time. 
2. Add additional owners.

The purpose :

• Convenience  - It's clumsy to have several persons' email cluttering the same mailbox
• Privacy - Even the best of friends like to keep email private. Sharing a mailbox is just a little too cozy.

• Each person gets their own Ezian environment complete with personal address book, email accounts (identities), and mailboxes.
• Passwords are optional.  Each person has the option of password protected access to his personal Ezian.
• A login screen appears upon starting Ezian (when more than one owner has been added) with a drop down menu of all owners.
• There is no limit to the number of owners.  You could have an office of workers, a classroom of students or a family sharing Ezian in the same computer, each with private access to their own Ezian environment.

Don't confuse different owners for different email identities
A new owner is usually added when another person wishes to use Ezian in the same computer so that mail accounts can be kept separate and private.  Different email identities for one person are entered at the Prefs > Email Accounts screen. 

Type in a new owners name - passwords are optional.

Two blanks are provided for creating or changing the password for the current owner using Ezian.  A password is optional, only use one if you want to keep others from having access to your email.  If snooping from others is a concern, be sure to close Ezian when you are finished, so they don't view your passwords.

If you create a password on the Owners panel, or when there is more than one owner, a Login Owner screen will show when you start Ezian.

Other uses for the Multiple Owners feature
You can create different Ezian environments for yourself (for one person):

1. Archiving mail
One example is for archiving mail for different time periods, like Joe2001, Joe 2002, etc, starting a new owner name when your mailbox for the previous name in your series gets too unwieldy to handle. 
2. Separate environments for your own id's
The second example is exactly what we cautioned to not be confused about, because a single individual usually has only one owner name, and normally enters his multiple id's at Prefs > Email Accounts.  But one person can also use multiple owner names to have different owner names for his various email id's, like Joe, CrazyJoe, NewyorkJoe47, for keeping totally separate and private email environments for each.  This way, you can give associates or friends access to one or some of your id's mailbox environments, and keep others private.
