The question is, how are those users separated on your system, i.e.  
how do you or the system know which user belongs to which group?

See above. But you probably need 3 installs anyway if you really want  
to hide the users from each other.

This completely unrelated and covered in the install docs. And it's  
the default behaviour of the Webmail Edition anyway.
