| 399705 | 2005-10-27 08:02:00 | Hi, Using Outlook Express there is a rule option "Do not download from server" which is ideal for working with alias' to sort out email on XP with multiple users. I have Outlook 2003 installed but am struggling to find this or an alternative option. Is it there in disguise or have they just not added it as an option. Cheers Sam |

I need outlook to only download emails that have a particular email address. I am guessing that the option is not available as the rules on offer only action a request after they are received. |

| 399708 | 2005-10-28 08:58:00 | If the alias addresses are directed to your main account then you can't download them seperately. I am guessing you have an Xtra account which gives alias addresses instead of a regular email address. You need to have each address with its own username and password to be able to do what you want to do. Most ISP's apart from Xtra give a proper email address. |

I didnt realise that an alias was not a 'proper' email address . I understand that an alias uses the same mailbox as the main username but that is not the issue . My 7 yr old does not need her own mailbox . What I am trying to do with Outlook is possible with Outlook express . What do most ISP's offer that is different from alias at no extra cost? Do they provide separate mailboxes for free? |
