Can Thunderbird be set up to only view messages from a shared account, without having the possibility of altering the emails, folders of that account?
I have one account setup as POP3 on one laptop. I want another user (supervisor) to be able to ONLY VIEW the emails (Inbox, Sent, Folders) from the first laptop. I've set up the account as IMAP on the supervisor's laptop. The supervisor is not very tech-wise, so it happened in the past to read emails from that account (and forget to mark them as unread), send emails from the account (composing email while having selected the wrong account), even delete emails. Not to mention the fact that the mails would show up as read on the first laptop if they were read on the supervisor's laptop. So i'm trying to find a way to have another user, checking the account as VIEW ONLY, without beeing able to affect the account itself.

Thunderbird knows nothing of "Read Only", which is not all that surprising for a personal mail client.
Perhaps you can do what you need using operating system controls on ownership and access to the files in the profile folder.
