Just another idea...

In KMail, I can have multiple "identities."  That is, I can use KMail to check 
multiple accounts.  Each one can have separate username/password to login to 
the mail server.  You can have them all dump to one inbox, or (I think) keep 
them as separate folders.  I'm sure that Evolution could do something 
similar.  The data would all be stored under one user, but they probably 
wouldn't care since they don't want separate user accounts anyway.  :-)
