Options->Network & Administration-> Check Allow Local Delivery. Then
Set up one account with a filter that redirects everything to the
other account. No bandwidth abuse, but you get what you want.

Not really. Just have each account set to check mail every few

If you don't have a permanent connection, it still works pretty well,
except that TB doesn't have an offline mode. That is a little
annoying at times.
