Do your acounts use the same username and password on the server to acces them? If so, they're not really separate accounts. There's no way you could be downloading her mail unless you're accessing her mailbox.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

If your email addresses are all "aliases" for one mailbox, you'll still need Message Rules when using separate Identities/Log-ons.
Most families (an intentionally all-encompassing term) will have one Mail Account with their one ISP subscription ($$/month for all). Most ISPs provide you with multiple Addresses for the Mail Account (e.g., Email removed for privacy, Email removed for privacy, etc.) but all of them "point" to the one mailbox. As such, each Identity will need to use Message Rules so that only mail addressed to them is downloaded into their Inbox.
The following refers to two addresses, but you should be able to follow it and amend for three or more.
Email removed for privacy and Email removed for privacy are aliases for one Mail Account (mailbox). In the Identity associated with Email removed for privacy, create a Message Rule stating, "Where To or CC contains Email removed for privacy, Do not download it from the server" and place this rule at the very top of the list.
Then create a similar rule for the Identity associated with Email removed for privacy directing any messages addressed to Email removed for privacy not to be downloaded from the server.
