Like this there is really NO connection between the unix accounts and the mail accounts. The worst thing that could happen is that someone figures out an email account's password and reads this user's emails. The other advantage of this solution is, that it allows you quite easily to use a web frontend for changing the user's information like passwords, name and so on.
