The latter one:

User A logins with account A, user B logins with account B - both cannot 
share mailboxes.

However, with some tweaks of permissions and symlinks you might be able to 
have read-access to shared mailboxes and you can even get some results 
with write-access that way. But it won't nicely from the start.
