I guess one way to move forward would be to use the system's /etc/aliases file, or similar, to redirect mail to the correct users.

So instead of having two users bob and support you just have the bob user - and inside your /etc/aliases file you add:

support : bob

Once you run newaliases bob should now get all mail addressed to support.

(Depending on the mail server you're using this might be ignored - but if not it's a very simple solution which might allow you to cut down on your login accounts)
