Can anyone explain why some of my incoming e-mails are intercepted ( I assume innocently as mystery person always tells sender 'I'm not the person you're looking for') but by the SAME person. It seems that some messages that are meant for me are arriving in someone else's mailbox. It's not a mistype by the sender as it happens when they hit the 'reply to sender button' i.e they're responding to a mail from me. My only guesses so far are 1) something to do with my wi-fi 2) similar addresses 3) same isp. Please help !!!

If it only happens when they reply to sender, then the chances are that it's because the "reply to" address is incorrect on your outgoing e-mails. You don't say which e-mail client you are using, but for Outlook Express:

Click Tools/Accounts
Go to the Mail tab
Double-click on your account details.
You will see that there are places to fill in your e-mail address: "E-mail address" and "Reply Address".
Check that they are both correct!
