I use Tutanota.com, they allow multiple open sessions, many people can look 
at/use the same email address if they all have the email addr. and password.  I 
suspect other encrypted mail providers do the same.  However, if it's actually 
of value i'd use something more secure.  You can always encrypt documents and 
send them out over any old email, likely far more securely than plaintext sent 
encrypted via mail server.  They did have a security flaw in the tutanota 
software months ago and people got into mail boxes, I've since seen a small 
amount of spam (I usually get none, aggressive pursuit works!) demonstrating 
again that humans are usually the weakest part of any security system.  So, how 
much do you trust people you haven't met?   I suspect most lawyers would agree 
that email is just a bad idea if confidentiality matters, or the web in general 
frankly and it's getting worse fast.
