Its a limited account that guest users can use to access the internet but basically can't go further than that. You can disable it if you want, just go to Setttings > Users & Groups. Unlock and alter the account as you wish.

QUOTE(amoxacilin @ Jan 28 2015, 07:20 AM) I sync my company gmail account just for calendar to my MBP. Emails i just use web. Can save some storage space by this way i think. Because no need to download all attachments in the emails. That's true about the space. I'll stick with using the web then. Thanks. So far so good with Mac, had some trouble with PostgreSQL with me deleting the postgres user and all the permission go haywire even after installing postgresapp. Sad case. I'm not so sure how to clean install it, re-installing using homebrew doesn't seems to clear the previous data somehow.

However softwares to remove and check for adware is a must though.
