My wife and I share an email address (Gmail account). Not sure what has changed, but in the last few days, something has. Not sure if the change is with Gmail, or in Apple, but I have looked at settings in both but cannot figure out a solution. Anyway, in the past, while we both were able to have Apple mail download the Gmail mail, and if I deleted an email, it didn't affect the email on her computer. If I read an email, hers continued to show it as unread. If I flagged an email, hers stayed unflagged. And vice versa.

Now, if I delete, it automatically deletes off her computer. Same for read/unread, flagged, etc. We have to have this email as a shared email, but cannot have what she does, affect me and vice versa. Like I said before, this is something that has changed recently, but not sure if it was Apple, or Google that changed. Please help!
