Diana,

  There is no way of providing the setup you desire with just Netware MHS 1.5.
There might be a third party product that will provide you with this type of feature.

   What is the e-mail package you are using?  Most of the MHS e-mail products
that I am familiar with can be setup so that you open up another user's mailbox
by double clicking on an icon (after setting the appropriate rights for that user).
Perhaps this might be a better solution.
