Well-posedness of the linear parabolic equations with respect to the inhomogeneous term as well as the initial data

I already asked the question on MSE, and have tried to figure it out myself. But the problem seems trickier than expected, so I guess MO is a better place to ask.. For the sake of completeness, I ...
