Is it possible to set up Apple mail on one MacBook so that two people with different Apple IDs can just see their own email and not commingle it?

AppleID with additional email address different than one assigned with AppleId If I use an additional email address under my existing AppleID will the Mail Icon on my new MacBook Pro still show emails from my existing email address as well as the additional new email address? My goal is to use the additional new email address but with the existing AppleID. I still have the need to access the old email account using my older MacBookPro. I also have an iPad and an iPhone11 Pro that I want to be able to just access email through the new email address as well.

Shared Appleid - Seperate Emails? Hello, I was wondering if its possible for two iPads, which uses the same apple id, but to have different emails on the mail app. They would be for work and I don't want one to have access to the others mail. Is that possible or will they have access to each others mail because of shared apple id?

Set up two user accounts on the Mac so each person has their own user account. They can set up their email addresses in Mail in their account.
