[tde-users] Re: Sharing mail folders between two local users

To do software development, I'm setting up a separate account on my desktop machine (to minimize distractions), but I'd like read-only access to some of the folders (e.g. this mailing list) in my primary mail account.  From what I've read, normally that would entail forwarding the mail through a mail system via another mail account; but since both users are on the same machine, can I just share the physical mail folders via symbolic links?
