Receiving mail

[src6007]

Have one e-mail accout with 2 e-mails mine and my daughters. Have set upa new
laptop for my daughter with her e-mail. When she enters windows mailnot only
does she receive her own e-mails but she also receives my e-mails. Can anyone
help with a solution that she only receives her own e-mails.

If you set up two separate log-in accounts (for logging into Windows) and
then set up your e-mail accounts; then because you will be entering the mail
settings that are unique to each account (user) the mail will be kept
separate to yourself or your daughter. This also has the advantage that you
are both able to set up windows to your own unique styles of use.

This is what my wife and I do and it works fine. We have one internet
account for the house but because we have separate e-mail accounts with the
main account we were able to setup our e-mail program (we use Outlook) to
download our e-mail to each other separately.

Please explain what you mean by "one email account with 2 e-mails"?
Each email address should have its own account in Windows Mail.

If the two email addresses are unique and independent, one account
in Windows Mail can't possibly download emails for both.

Have you checked with your mail service provider to verify that the
two email addresses are independent of each other?

have new laptop which i have set up an e-mail account with my daughters
e-mail address. Have another computer with my e-mail address account. Both of
these e-mail adresses are from the same service provider. My e-mail address
is the primary mailbox, my daughters e-mail address is "mapped" to the
primary mailbox. I hope that helps with a little more information.

Does each email address have a unique username?
In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "E-mail username" should be different for the two accounts.
If it *is* different, that is good, but the only remaining possible cause is that your
mail service provider has provisioned those email addresses such that one is
an alias for the other, instead of being truly independent.
