Yes it will - just add a new account. If it is set up to only use
exchange you might have to install a component for internet email access
(and some very old versions can't do both).

Basically you would add a new mailbox for each set of messages and have
the appropriate people subscribe to it. If you are using exchange,
you'd have the equivalent functionality in public folders. With IMAP, I
think only Cyrus handles shared folders well.
