My wife and I both have user accounts on our computer.
Both of us also have our own individual email accounts
but I have not been able to link my wife's email to her
account. At the moment, all emails seem to come to my
Outlook express account including those addressed to her.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You could create an identity for each of you, and log into it when you open
OE.

Here's what you do:
1) Go to the File menu and choose "Identities"
2) Choose "Add New Identity"
3) Enter the name of the new user (such as "Tony's Wife" ;) )
4) Select the Require a password option if you'd like it to have a password.
Otherwise, don't worry about it.

It doesn't matter if you switch to the identity now or not; either way is
fine. Now, when you open OE, it will prompt you to choose an account. Or,
you can go to the File menu and choose "Switch Identity..." and you can
change to the other user at any time, if needed. If you set up your mail
information in your identity and hers in her own identity, this should help.
