Leave some emails on server, download others in Outlook

[Guest]

I would like to download some of my emails (my personal email address) to my
computer and wipe them from the sever, but leave other emails (other family
members' email addresses) on the server (do not download them) when using
Outlook 2003. This is possible in Outlook Express by setting up a Mail Rule
e.g. "If the recipient field contains fred@ or Fred@ do not download from
server". However it cannot be done in Outlook 2003. This means that my own
email and email for other family members is being sent to the same computer,
and we would like them to be kept seperate.

Nothing to do with Microsoft whatsoever - it's the way your ISP gives you
email addresses. I will bet £1 to a penny that they are all *aliases* of the
one address, ie in the form of (e-mail address removed).

The easiest answer to do what you want to do you must get REAL separate
email addresses, ie in the form of (e-mail address removed)

get separate mailboxes for everyone, not a catchall.

I agree this would be a solution, but why open multiple e-mail accounts with
a service provider, when a simple filter (available in Outlook Express) would
have the desired effect?

Outlook uses MAPI to collect mail and this is one of the limitations - OE
uses simple mapi which doesn't have this limitation.
