Mailboxes have all the privileges normal accounts do except for access to our dialup modems.
Mailboxes are a good alternative for families and companies wishing to give every member their own private mailbox. One dialup account is used for the login. Then your mail program, such as Eudora, can be configured to read mail from the mailbox account. Mailboxes also get FTP space, Web space, and can access our news server. However, remember that you can only dial in once with each dial-up account.
