Me or I - Help settle an argument!

0 Hi Guys,02br
02br
00I've had a quick search of the forum, but searching for "me" or "i" gives more than a few results 05002br
02br
00The sentence in question is: 02br
02br
00"If you have any questions at all, please email John and me" 02br
00"If you have any questions at all, please email John and I"02br
02br
00Which one is correct? Getting some conflicting information. Oxford Dictionary says "and me", Microsoft Word says "and I".02br
02br
00Leaning towards both are correct, yet "and I" is more formal.02br
02br
00Appreciate any responses!010id5

0Just a side note: Don't depend on Google - people write with all sorts of errors, but Google doesn't differentiate between good writing and bad writing when it gives you a result, AND don't depend on Word's grammar checker. It might help you find a couple errors, but you cannot make it your final judge on grammatical matters. (Nona once referred to its "daft suggestions" and I quite agree, but
