Create the account on both users Kmail, but set it to leave messages on the server. Then both will get copies. Every now and then (or when you get a warning from your server telling you are reaching your limit) set one of them to delete the messages on the server, check the mail once or twice, and set it back to leave messages on server. This will clear the server. Hope that helps.
