OE6 - multiple users - multiple e-mail names

I am just about tearing my hair out - and there's not much to start with!

Problem:

    I have set up my new computer - XP Pro - with two users.

    My e-mail address is  XXXX@XXXXX.COM , but anything that is sent
to @bravomar.demon.co.uk
    will reach me - unlimited e-mail addresses, not uncommon.

    My partner uses two addresses:  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  &
 XXXX@XXXXX.COM 

    I've set up OE6 on my user account with 2 identities which seems to work
OK, but when my partner
    logs on to her user account, a separate OE6 fires up and not the one
I've set up on my account. Ie:
    there is no reference to the identities I'd set up.

    So, when I log on to collect e-mail, all hers downloads in to my user
account and is not accessible when she logs on.

    How do I solve this?

I'm not exactly computer illiterate, but this is really stumping, and
bugging me!

Please help!

Ta muchly!

Everyone should believe in something.......
I believe I'll have another drink!

If you *truly* have 3 e-mail addresses with your ISP between the two of you 
and not just aliases for one address, I'd call your ISP and see what's going 
on.

Chris, not wise to post your email address in a public newsgroup. 
Spammers harvest these groups for their dubious email. You should change 
to something like CJ@bravomar.(nospam)demon.co.uk
Somebody who needs to then use it for leigitmate reasons could easily 
work it out. But using it as it is would send spam whirling into the 
black hole of space and not your inbox!

Use Message Rules to filter your mail where the two addresses are 
aliases
for the same mailbox.

E.g.,  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  and  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  are aliases for one mailbox.  In the
Identity associated with  XXXX@XXXXX.COM , create a Message Rule stating, 
"Where
To contains  XXXX@XXXXX.COM , Do not download it from the server and Stop
processing more rules" (The last phrase is important!) and place this 
rule
at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with  XXXX@XXXXX.COM 
directing any messages addressed to  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  to not be downloaded from 
the
server.

Bruce, they are aliases.
Same setup as my ISP email addy - 
 XXXX@XXXXX.COM 

(I don't use this email address at all now, and everything goes into a 
black hole.)
