1 email account, 2 mail address, 2 computers, Outlook 2000

[m0d3us]

Hi

I have 1 email account, with is shared between me and my girlfreind, we
each have our own email address, but all our mails go in to one joint
inbox, using something called Email Alias, that our ISP use.

The problem is that we get each others mails, and we would like to
setup a rule so that the mails not intented for the person that recives
them is automaticly deleted in his/her outlook and is left on the
server so the other can get it when checking their mail.

I have been looking for guides to do this for a while and have been
able to find a few for Outlook 2002 and 2003, but none for the Outlook
2000, and the newer guides dont work.

Basicly i would think it was just to set it up so that the messages
arent deleted on the server for a few days, and then sorting it so that
email with the wrong recipient automaticly gets deleted.
But i cant seem to get this to work.

Can anyone help?

OS is windows XP pro en, and outlook 2000 en

The best thing to do would be to get separate POP3 or other mailboxes. You
could try using the Rules Wizard to move things around upon receipt but
that's still not the best solution

This is exactly how to do it. You create a rule that deletes all messages
and add the exception "except with specific words in the recipient's
address", specifying your own alias as the "specific words".
