Yep, I've misdirected e-mails AND IM's - luckily nothing too embarrassing. My sister's husband tried setting up a separate mail box for her in their Internet account, so I sent her a long-winded e-mail all about what I'd been up to lately, blah blah blah. It went through OK, but the next day it came back to me as a reply, with the cryptic message "this is not meant for me - I am an old Scottish banker". I thought she was being a wiseguy or something (she lives in England), so I e-mailed her again, and once again I got a reply about the recipient being an old Scottish banker. Turns out her husband had told her the wrong e-mail address, and my e-mails really WERE going to an old banker in Scotland! Hope he enjoyed every detail of my boring life........
