I know  people who share one email address and one user account, but one email 
address and two user accounts is almost outside kmail's competency.  It's 
designed for one linux user account.  

To do it right you should use fetchmail and an MTA like postfix + sieve to 
filter the mails into each user's mailbox.

I thought you might be able to graunch it inside kmail by combining a Forward 
To rule with a Set Transport To rule to use local sendmail to forward to the 
other user without leaving the computer again, but it appears that the Set 
Transport To and Set Identity rules only work on sent mail (as you would 
expect).
