You can log out (usually among your shut down options) and log back in as a new user. Also, in terminal, let's say you wanted to launch mail_program as user2 without logging out, you sould be able to type: >>> su user2 enter password >>> mail_program_name & then close the program and type "exit" in terminal to close
I believe that should work, though I have not tried the specific example I am describing.
