How can I have the same address book and inbox between
the two user accounts. The email addressis the same why
don't they link? I am one user and my wife the other.
If a new email comes in it goes to whichever user's
Outlook whose is on. What can I do.... kicking the cpu
doesn't work!

I think you need to ensure that both accounts are using the same store
folder for Outlook Express.
Log into both and make sure Tools--->Options---Maintenance--->Store Folder
is the same.

You need to create a separate inbox folder for your wife or yourself and
then use message rules to route the emails to the correct folder.
