This would be my preferred solution, as well. Otherwise, I believe the following would work, as well.
Kmail stores all your messages in ~/Mail, that is, a Mail subdirectory in your home directory. Using your login, configure Kmail as you would like it. Then, under her login configure Kmail identically. Then, replace the ~/Mail subdirectory in her home directory (or yours) with a link pointing to the other ~/Mail subdirectory. Next, make sure all permissions relating to the ~/Mail subdirectories and any and all files and subdirectories therein are readable, writeable and searchable by both of you. Both of you should then be able to login as appropriate, check and send e-mail, as long as you're not both logged in simultaneously.
