i have deleted the email account and started again.. my comp has also been to apple found nothing wrong, wipped and reloaded.. still no change.

You have done it wrong again. You have neglected to setup 2 SMTP servers (1 for each account) and allocate them correctly.

Post your SMTP preferences for each account here.

Post screenshots (for accuracy)

I am not into guessing games, post the settings (in a screenshot) and we'll see if they are correct.

Also.

If you and your husband are sharing the same Mac open Contacts (Address Book) and check whether your husbands card or yours is set as 'My Card'

Did you delete the old SMTP servers or just leave them there?

(leaving them there would be the wrong choice)

OK

Shift Command 4 allows you to take a screenshot, the little camera in the toolbar allows you to insert it here. Don't copy and paste, it won't work.

Open Mail, go to Preferences>Accounts.

Scroll down to the entry marked Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) click the dialog and it will open to reveal a menu, choose 'Edit SMTP Servers.

When it opens you will see this (but probably with more than one server, I like to keep mine tidy)

Take a screenshot of the list, post it here, post both tabs (Account Information and advanced)

Is that the only server (show me the list)

And I assume that you the email address I see is yours?

Then let's back up a stage.

Go to www.gmail.com and verify that the mail you see on their website is the same as the mail you see in Mail.

Then I fail to understand your problem, Mail is working normally and is in sync with the Gmail server.

I can only assume that you have OS X issues and I suggest that you reinstall (first) 10.9.2, but use the Combo updater rather than software update. If that fails it is time to erase and reinstall OSX, that will need a full and up to date backup.

Or you could be sensible and get rid of Gmail and its non compliant Imap protocol.
