setting admin permissions

Hi

We have strangers coming to housesit while we are away. He wants access to the computer to send email. Is it possible for me to block him from my files and folders and just give him access to my email program, which is Incredimail?

Appreciate any advice.

You could set up an account for him giving him non administrative permissions. What OS is it?
