    The solution is as follows:
    1. Set up a second mail profile. (Control Panel - Mail)
    2. In the first Profile, set the Mail account User name to
    "me+xxxx.freeserve.co.uk" (without the quotes)
    3. In the second profile, set up the mil user name to be
    "her+xxxx.freeserve.co.uk" (again without the quotes)
    This ensures that profile 1 will only download mail addressed to
    me@xxxx.freeserve.co.uk and Profile 2 will only download mail addressed to
    her@xxxx.freeserve.co.uk. The only downside is that you will NOT download
    any mail addressed to "anything other than me and her"@xxxx.freeserve.co.uk
    but as 99.9999% of this will be spam anyway, just use mailwasher once a
    month or so to clear it out.
    And yes this does work, I used it very successfully for years when I
    subscribed to Freeserve.
