Is there any way to add users to a setup w/o having to verify email addresses? I am just getting started with exploring drupal, running it on a local machine and I do not have access from the local machine to an email server.

Also is there any way to have multiple users have the same email address? I would like to have 2 users for me, one for my admin account, and one where I'm just a "normal" user so I can see what the site looks like when i don't have special privileges.

If you are logged in with administrate users permission then you can add users willy-nilly, and you can choose not to send them a "welcome email".

But note you can use smtp.module to provide email functionality. Or add SMTP settings to php.ini.

There may be a module that lets more than one user share the same email address, but I don't know of it. With stock Drupal this is not possible. I use multiple email addresses to cope with this situation! You could even have a fake email address for one of the accounts ...

I've been using http://www.ximailstop.com as SMTP server for my test setup. It's quite easy to do.
