Reciving wrong emails
 

Hi guys my mum has been reciving emails addressed for other people over the past two weeks, she uses outlook express and it only has the one account set up on it but still she has started reciving other peoples mail!
Does anyone know why this might be? Also if she is reciving other peoples emails could other people be reciving some of hers?

Are they private emails that are addressed to one person or of the spammy generic type, it's not unusual to have other peoples names / addys included in a spammy one.

They are private emails

Which service provider does she use?
are the intended recipients on the same email domain?
Just one incorrect recipient or multiple?
The normal reason you appear to get incorrect emails is if you are on the bcc list for a message.

Yeah they are all @ntlworld.com addresses
Multiple recepients

It's quite unlikely that private mail addressed to several users is getting into her mailbox.
Are you able to get the message headers and post any non-identifiable details? (Iirc, in OE you right click the email and select properties)

Most likely the person sending them has made a mistake with the e-mail address they are sending them to.
