   The problem is that when either of us wants to get our email it is too   
   easy to select "Get all messages" and since my email is not password   
   protected she will often download my email messages and I will sometimes   
   miss getting a message because I won't see that she has already   
   downloaded it when she gets her messages using the "Get all messages"   
   feature. It doesn't happen the other way around since her email account   
   is password protected.
