You can set WM to leave a copy of each message on the server so that you can
get mail to both users.

Tools>accounts>select account>properties>advanced tab.

Also select and set a sensible number of days to delete messages from the
server, to prevent the server mail box from filling up.

Do the above on both user Accounts, but only set the delete option on one of
them.
