My husband and I run off of a wireless router. For about two weeks now, I
get his mail and he gets none. I have a desktop that serves as our
mainframe, all of my mail goes to that computer instead of my laptop.

A mail program like Windows Mail can't download from a mail account for which
it doesn't have the username and password. I suggest you delete the existing
account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that mail account with the proper
username and password. If no improvement, something is awry at the server end.

Set one of them to delete messages from the server after a sensible number
of days, or your online mailbox will fill up and subsequently reject new
mail.
