I DON'T WANT MY WIFES MAIL!! 1

[JAG14]

Hi all,

OK, up until about 3 weeks ago, I used Outlook Express for all e-mails, worked fine very happy. Then I went and bought a Pocket PC and of course HAD to have Outlook 2002.
In outlook express we had a set of rules, most of which imported nicely into Outlook. APART FROM THE MOST IMPORTANT! (Typical M$)
The rule is DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM SERVER. This was used to filter my Wifes E-Mail so, when she logged on her identity, a similar rule, but in reverse ensured she only received her mail.
Where is this rule in Outlook 2002? Hundreds of searches (MS, Google, TT, EE ) Came up with nothing I could use.
And I'm now getting desperate as I really don't want 2 Cheap E-Book Offers per day or a Breast Enhancement.

Many thanks in advance.

hi. are you looking for the check box for "leave a copy on server"?

I have OutLook 2002. I found it at tools/e-mail accounts. then there was some question and i cliked next. edit you existing account by clicking the "change..." button.
goto "More Settings" and look for the Advanced tab. In there is a Delivery section and it has a check box for "leave a copy on server".

is that what you want????

Alex,

Unfortunately not. as that would leave a copy of all my mail on the server and I just want to not download certain ones based on rules.

the process is that Outlook Express reads the headers of the e-mails for parameters that I specify, if it matches the WIFE rule (i.e. To: Line contains her name) It simply does not download that message from the server.
This is apparently very hard to recreate in Outlook 2002.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Might be easier just to make another e-mail account.

Not a good solution considering that e-mail to ANYTHING@MYPLACE.COM goes to one place, where we download from. This is called Catch-All Domain E-Mail.

Any other solutions?

i don't know if this link will take you there, but Microsoft does have its own new groups.

might want to post there too.

For those interested,

I (almost) solved it,

I created rules for outlook along the lines of...

DOWNLOAD ALL MAIL
ANY MAIL RECOGNISED AS FOR THE MISSUS (ilovemymanscreditcard@myplace.com)
FORWARD TO PERSONAL HOTMAIL ACCOUNT
PERMANENTLY DELETE MESSAGE

I know, I know! It involved another e-mail account!
But M$, in their infinite wisdom, decided that they didn't like the original rule from OE and omitted it from Outlook.

Star for AlexLights for the effort.
