Why when I receive mail it goes to my, or my wife's account. when they are
addressed to the other accounts and vice versa, This does not always happen,
I think I have set up the accounts correctly.
any ideas?

If the accounts are aliases for the same mailbox on the server then the
first to access will download all the mail that's there.

Open your account and you should have two addresses, make your address as default, hope that works.

We need some more details. Are both email accounts set up on
the same computer, under the same Windows user login?
If so, you will need to separate the mail by email account
using message rules. If you need help with that, let us know.

I am using Vista, With windows mail and using separate login/accounts.
Yes both are on the same computer. need help to to set up mail accounts
using message rules
 
It sounds like you are still confusing a login account for a Windows user
with the login for an email account mail server.
I'm going to assume that both your and your wife's email accounts
are checked on the same Windows Mail instance.
You will need to go into Tools > Message Rules > Mail > New,
and the wizard will guide you through the creation of a new message
rule. You should wind up with two rules looking something like this:

1. Where the message is from the 'His' account
move it to the Husband folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the 'Her' account
move it to the Wife folder
and stop processing more rules.

Hope this helps.
