Delete from server

[Chris Cowles]

Outlook Express has a rule action that allows deleting a message from the
server without downloading the body. I just installed Outlook 2003 and can't
find a similar function. Am I missing something?

My purpose is that I use K9 as a spam filter, including its DNSBL option.
Anything coming from the xbl-sbl.spamhaus DNSBL is tagged with a header
classification. An outlook rule identifies it accordingly.

In Outlook Express the rule deletes if from the 'server' (actually, K9
already downloaded it to its own database from the mail server) without
saving it in OE. Can I do the same with Outlook? Spam that doesn't get
tagged as DNSBL is moved to the Outlook Junk Mail folder.

Outlook has no option to delete from the server. OE is a part of IE and has
different abilities to interact with Internet applications, such as your ISP
mail server.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

Thanks. I'll just delete automatically within Outlook.
