Alias Account Rules

We have 3 email accounts in the household, one for each member of the family.
We each have our own computers. My ISP allocated my email address as the
prime address and made the other 2 accounts alias's. We have all been using
Outlook Express with a filter which basically says "If the To field contains
either of the other addresses - leave it on the server and do not download".
This has been working great. However, as we all have Office on our computers
and I use Outlook at work, I thought I would swap email clients.
Unfortunately, there is no similar filter/rule that will do what Outlook
Express did. I have a convoluted workaround which is a combination of a rule
that moves mail not addressed to me to a holding folder and leavinf all mail
on the ISP's server for at least 10 days unless deleted from our deleted
items folder. Any reasonable suggestions accepted.
 
Get real seperate mailboxes. Outlook doesn't deal well with catch-all
mailboxes.

Thanks for that Vince.

I think all I am looking for is a "then" option of "leave on server" like OE
has.

Still, the workaround works at the moment.

Thanks again
