how can i access an email account on TB from a separate computer without deleting/modifying how the other account is setup
I want to be able to access another email account that is set up as a POP account on TB, but I do not want to modify how the other email account is set up. My co-worker and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the email account on my computer as a POP, without moving his emails? Or would this require changing his account to IMAP? When i set up his TB account, I made it a POP so there are no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want is for his emails to move from his computer to mine. (He's new to TB and that would drive him crazy - I already did that when I switched him from Outlook)
Thank you

Yes. And make sure to check the option to leave messages on the server prior to accessing the account.
Having said that, I think it is a very bad idea to share an account that way. Note that this will give you permanent access to your co-worker's account. In addition you're not only storing your own messages on your computer, but also all your co-worker's messages. The same is true for him if he does the same.

If you have web mail access to your accounts then I would use that to access his account for the reasons stated above.
Thank you very much
