Diego,

I think the best way would be to use procmail in-between, piping the
messages to Your chosen location and keeping the permissions intact.
Check "man procmailrc" and "man procmailex" for some more information.
Basicaly I'd do it this way:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:whatever
TARGET=/my-shared-location

:0
$TARGET

putting such a .procmailrc in homedirs of both users should do the trick
of "uniting" the mailboxes into one.
