[Nottingham] Complicated maybe impossible e-mail

[abhishek jain]

hi,
In my view the solution is:
1. Setup an alias to all 10 persons from info at .... to the personal ids.
2. Setup a common IM a/c which shows online status and share the user name
and password with all: ask people to check just before login if someone
from the common IM a/c is logged in - if not the person will login to a
webmail service and respond to email and logout from IM. So no two person
can login at one time since the know that some other person is already
logged in.

if someone wants to automate the 2nd step then create a simple javascript
which checks if common IM status is online then dont let other people
login  by redirecting them to warning page, Some sort of auto logout can
also be made in case of inactivity if one wants a more techie solution.

Not sure if it helps but in my view this is a simple sol without much
efforts,
thanks
