[CUBE] OT: Mac Mail Quits on Launch...

[atoa at krak.net]

There are a variety of ways.
Probably the easiest for you is to log in as one user, and change the
permissions (get info) on the files owned by that user to be
readable and writable by everyone. Log out, and log in as the other.

This can be more easily done via sudo in the terminal, but that's harder
to explain.
