A single user with a private database has always been BCM's default
and most popular configuration.
BCM v2 added the ability to share a database with other users.
BCM v3 (2007) added a tool to install the BCM database on a server; so
that you don't have to install Outlook on the server to create the
database.
Although the database has an owner, the only user that can customize
entities, manage users, and do db backups and restores, all the shared
users have access to all the data. So when you look at an account's
history, your seeing all the history items in the database and not
just those you created.
BCM has more security than similar products (e.g. v3 added encryption
to database connections), but it does not have roles and permissions,
so every shared user sees all the data in the database.

Ouch, the fact that they can see EVERYTHING related to an account (even
private email from employees) might be a deal breaker.
Thank you for your quick answer! Any other suggestions or ideas would be
great.

Kenny,
Take a look at BCM's big brother and the next step up with MS Dynamics CRM 4.
0. This has what you are looking for in either a hosted, on-demand or on-
premise set up. More expensive, more complex, but more complete.
