Not receiving mail from second user

I have two accounts in WM for my wife and I. Normally, it will check both
accounts and download any mail from the ISP server and put them in our
respective inboxes. This has been working just fine up until today. Now, it
will download my mail, but not the mail for my wife. I can send from both
accounts with no problem. Sending test mail to my wife's account, it shows
up on the ISP server and I can access the test messages directly from there,
but WM won't download them. Sending a test message to myself works just
fine. Any suggestions?

When you fetch your wife's account, does it go through the motions
of contacting the server? I take it there is no error message?
Which antivirus are you running?

on WM you can only have 1 e-mail account. they will not let you have 2 or
more. Hope this helps

It is slightly misleading since WM does allow several email accounts.
I had a number of accounts, Gmail and BT for example, set up in WM..

Wrong, you can set up and access many email accounts from WM.
All the email goes into one Inbox.
To send from the different accounts, click on the From: field and select
which account.

Who is "they"?
You can have as many accounts in WM as you want. I had nine.

This is true for using POP3.
When using IMAP (which IMO is the better option if the ISP supports)
there is a separate inbox for each account, however.

Sorry, *totally* wrong.
One can use as many mail-accounts as one likes.
