I have two addresses on the one account using outlook express.
Whenever an email arrives ,addressed to one address, it shows up on both.
As a test whhen I send a message to from one address to the other, I also
get the message. How do I stop this?

I suspect the two "addresses" are not REAL email addresses at all but just
aliases of the master account.

If your email addresses are all "aliases" for one mailbox, you'll need to
use Message Rules when using separate Identities/Log-ons (neither of which
are really necessary).

Most families (an intentionally all-encompassing term) will have one Mail
Account with their one ISP subscription ($$/month for all). Most ISPs
provide you with multiple Addresses for the Mail Account (e.g., (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed), etc.) but all of them "point" to the one mailbox. As such,
each Identity will need to use Message Rules so that only mail addressed to
them is downloaded into their Inbox.

The following refers to two addresses, but you should be able to follow it
and amend for three or more.

(e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed) are aliases for one Mail Account (mailbox). In
the Identity associated with (e-mail address removed), create a Message Rule stating,
"Where To or CC contains (e-mail address removed), Do not download it from the server"
and place this rule at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with (e-mail address removed)
directing any messages addressed to (e-mail address removed) not to be downloaded from the
server.

By asking in a group that has something to do with your email program?
