Some messages sent from my wife's AOL.com account get deliverd to my Outlook
email and some never are delivered. What could be causing this?

Scads of reasons. We need more information. Is she using Outlook as well?
If so, do the messages remain in her Outbox? Do thet move to her Sent Items
folder? If she's not using Outlook, what is she using? What version Outlook
is involved? Are you using an IMAP account?

 

[DrGaryG]

She uses AOL. The messages are in her Sent folder. I use Outlook 2007. What
is an IMAP account?

The the problem must be on AOL's end of things.

I use Outlook 2007. What is an IMAP account?

AOL users can access their mail using Outlook configured to use an IMAP
account. IMAP is a mail protocol similar to POP, but instead of keeping
messages locally on your PC, they remain on the server and Outlook accesses
them there. For a more detailed description, see

But some of her messages get delivered to me and some do not. How can that be?

Any number of reasons, but I'd be inclined to look for an anti-spam scanner in
the way.
