Each users is running their own Bat! with their own %WorkingDirectory but are pointing to the same addressbook. Can I point folders to the same messagebase so they can share some common email accounts? or will stuff get corrupted ?

TheBat doesn't seem to lock the message bases, as you can delete the .tbb & .tbi files even for the folder you are currently viewing. Maybe you should organize things so that getting new messages from server can be initiated from only one installation. Also users may have to manually refresh folders in order to see changes.
