Emails in Outlook - I need help please

I have set up my PC to recieve my emails rather than using Pipex Webmail - no problems.
Tried to set up my two childrens laptops to recieve emails, can send but not recieve on both laptops, have spent hours trying to find out the reason behind it.
I have a print out from pipex (years old) and have followed that for the incoming and outgoings servers, it works on my PC so I am assuming its not that causing the problem.
I am running Microsoft Outlook 2002 on all three machines.
The error message I am getting is "The following message to [EMAIL="*****@dsl.pipex.com"]*****@dsl.pipex.com[/EMAIL] was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.1.0 - unknown address error 550 "Mailbox is inactive".
I have googled this and to be honest I don't understand any of it, need it in plain language, not at all technical.
Can you help please?

Do you have three separate pipex e-mail addresses? i.e.
[EMAIL="adult@pipex. com"]adult@pipex. com[/EMAIL]
[EMAIL="daughter1@pipex. com"]daughter1@pipex. com[/EMAIL]
[EMAIL="daughter2@pipex. com"]daughter2@pipex. com[/EMAIL]

I have set up 5 email addresses in total on the Pipex webmail page.
Sorry, have to keep popping off, making the dinner.0
