    Give him his own account. Setup the mail program in this account.

     

     

    Create new Account

     

    blue apple > system preferences

    clicks on accounts icon

     

    click on lock icon if locked. 

    enter logon password

    click on + icon ( left side of screen just above the lock icon )

    after creating new account, you need to logout of your current account.

     

    blue apple > log out ... current count name ...

     

    log on to new account. see if problem goes away.

    if it has gone  away, some preference file got messed up on your account. Rename the appropriate  Preference file. You will have to figure out the name.   They are .plist files.  Look for these files in Preferences folder which is in your Library folder [ more formally ~/Library/Preferences ].  ... reboot.

    Post back for more help.
