On Outlook Express I have a message rule which deletes from server any
messages where the *To* does NOT contain a specific address.

I'm trying to compose the same rule in Outlook 2003, but haven't had much
joy yet. The closet rule I found is 'where To contains your name' .

Does anyone know if the rule is possible on Outlook?

Thank you
 
Outlook Rules do not operate on the server - they operate AFTER the download
from the server so what you are trying to achieve will not work in Outlook.

outlook doesn't delete from server, it downloads and deletes... Use one rule
to delete all mail except to people or DL...
