AddAddress() simply adds a new address to the end of an array of addresses. If you want to send individual emails, per-address, you'll have to clear that list on each iteration, e.g.

for(...) {
   $mail->AddAddress(...);
   $mail->send();
   $mail->ClearAddresses();  // <---you need this line.
}

If a single user is receiving multiple emails, then you'd need some code to detect when you've already sent one, e.g.:

$sent = array();
for(...) {
   if (isset($sent[$email[$i]])) {
      continue; // check if sent already, skip if so
   }
   ...
   if ($mail->send()) {
     $sent[$email[$i]] = true; // flag address as already sent
   }
}
