rooSwitch gives you pseudo multiusers

A common question I encounter a lot is if it’s possible to have separate users in Mail, in the same user account. Some might remember this functionality from Outlook Express, back in the bad old days of Mac OS 9. My family used it to great success, but these days, I think separate user accounts are a much better solution. Despite that, some still want to use the same account.

rooSwitch is an application that allows you to switch sets of application data. Trying a new version of one of your core programs? Make a new set of preferences. Want to back up? It can do that too.

It’s free for now, but will be available for “a reasonable price” when it reaches 1.0.
