configuring accounts

Hi,
I would like to ask how should I configure Exchange, AD and clients to fill this scenario:

The company has its own e-mail, company@xxxxxxxxxxx, to which has some of the employers access for reading as well as for sending e-mails.
Each person has two e-mails, one for business, surname@xxxxxxxxxxx and one personal, firstname@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Company is running Win 2003 SBS Standard, Exchange 2003.
My current solution was:
- AD account with "surname" login
- AD account with "firstname" login, with loging in disabled
- AD account with "company" login, also disabled.

On the server side, company e-mail was allowed to be accessed from some employers, and each firstname e-mail was allowed to be accesed by lastname account.

On the client however (Outlook 2007), there had to be Exchange account, automaticaly the loging-in account, which is lastname. Then, additional Exchange accounts are the firstname one and the company one if applicable. However, additional IMAP accounts were needed to be able to send e-mails from company or firstname mails, the Exchange way did not worked, perhaps because of security settings.

Now we are going to do full reinstallation, so my question is, if this solution is the only possible, since I don't like it very much. Do I need to create the AD accounts only for mails? Could the Outlook 2007 load all the Exchange accounts which are available for the particular user? Do I have to set up these duplicate IMAP accounts? Or how do I set up the Exchange to allow sending e-mails from the Exchange alternative accounts? Is it possible without this "from firstname/company on behalf of secondname" header?

How would you solve this?
Thank you for any idea,
Jan
