In this case, there are really two messages being sent; it is not a case of "as if". Of course, you can filter for messages sent to both of you (both addresses appearing in "TO" fields), but there will still be duplicate mails to be dealt with -- there will always be two separate mails, both addressed to both of you. You might filter for mails that are (1) addressed to you, (2) addressed to your wife, and (3) retrieved using you wife's account, and discard those. Then you can apply all the normal actions to the copy retrieved using your own account. Assuming that you both regularly retrieve mails from all accounts, rather than just your own, this should work reasonably well. Otherwise, your will wife would see those mails only after you have retrieved yours. - Michael Michael J.
