How can I stop receiving emails in Live Mail?

My daughter used my laptop to set up a Live Mail account for herself. Now every time I switch on my computer I have to type in my User Name and Password as normal but I get a message immediately underneath saying I have X-number of unread emails. These turn out to be emails to my daughter. If she logs in then her email only shows the recent emails that she has not read. My login shows ALL of them. It is becoming frustrating having to delete all her emails.
I assume she has set up a forwarding facilty in her account. How can this be switched off so I don't get her emails.
Help guys, PLEASE!:confused:

Did your daughter sign up under your user name? Kinda sounds that way. Set up new user account for your daughter, reset up email and then delete email account from your user account.

A good question Bassfisher and one that I will check out. It's certainly a good starting point. I will let you know if I have any success. Many thanks.

I.m not sure if htis is the same problem but. I have a domestic lan, with three Email accounts. Each has it's own inbox.
Let us say I have Johndoe@: JohnPeel@ and fishhead@
Assuming my account is Johndoe, I have gone into the "Message rules" (Under "Tools")
I scrolled down to "Where the To or CC line contains people"
Next pane I have selected "Do not download from Server"
At the bottom, where it outlines "Contains people" I have inserted JohnPeel@ and fishhead@
I then entered the other mail addressees and reversed the procedure.
There may be a simpler way, but this worked for me.

Thanks DaveHC. I have not yet had a chance to look at the laptop. Been a tough day at work. There is a chance my daughter used my access details (there is nothing sensitive on this particular, spare laptop) so I will try the first solution and then yours Dave.
Thanks again guys for the help and support. Once I sort it, I wil llet you know how I did it.
