I have another variation on this problem: my wife and I get the same emails from school. We both have accounts within the school platform.
So, what usually happens:
1. Both of us get email
2. One of us sees email before other, may or may not do something about it
3. Possibly one of us fwds the email to the other, creating two copies in one inbox.
4. It's not always clear if (2) results in something happening. And by that I don't mean in (2) that one of us said we would do it. Instead, I'm thinking one step further: we needed to pick a Parent-Teacher conference. How do we know we did it?
5. At some point we might archive/delete emails
6. Many of these emails contain admin dates. Things like half-days, dismissal changes, etc. Usually with dates/times that then need to go into a calendar. So, we try to send each other calendar invites (from personal Gmails) to handle.
#6 is often the real problem. We're looking into the Skylight Calender. Some people swear by it. I hear people like Cozi but that app is a mess.
