Hi
My husband and i have different addresses, [email protected] and [email protected]
,type addresses and with outlook express we were able to receive our own
emails on our own computers but I see no such oppotunity with Office Outlook.
This is a POP3 and we are wireless.
Can anyone help?

I mean,
Is it possible to receive my emails in MS Outlook on my computer and my
husband receive the emails addressed to him in MS Outlook on his computer?
I have just received notice from my isp and it appears I cannot do it using
Outlook.
Thank you for your help. I will go on using Outlook Express until such
time.....

Absolutely incorrect. What makes you think you can't?

Because we are using the same address and passsword with rules and they do
not seem to work on Outlook. I tried and couldn't receive hubbys only mine so
I contacted them and they sent the instructions for outlook express only.
(Wanadoo is ISP).
If you know differently I will be pleased to hear from you.Do I see a light
at the end of a very long tunnel ?
Many thanks Gordon

Set it up exactly the same.

You may run into trouble (I'm surprised you didn't before) because you are
using aliases of the one master account - they are NOT separate email
addresses.
best bet is to use a Hotmail or Gmail for one of them, then you will have
two truly separate email addresses..

By setting up both computers with the rules in reverse we were able and still
are able to get our emails on the seperate computers but the spam was
bothering me so we decided to change to Outlook but am having problems
setting it up the same way.
Thanks for your help with this Gordon.

Outlook won't protect you from spam any more than OE! However, I suspect you
were using the "don't download from server"option in OE rules. Outlook
unfortunately does NOT have that function within its rules and alerts.
The best answer is still for one of you to set up a Gmail account or some
similar free account that allows POP access. Then you will have truly
separate email accounts...
