pop3 Mail Rules from Express Not availble in Outllok 2003??

In outlook express, there is a mail rule/filter that
reads:
Condition:
If to line (recipent) contains (x) then:
Action:
"Do not download from server"

This rule is not available on Outlook 2003.

I need this because we have a single "inbox" out on our
service providers server. We have individual email
addresses, but bith get deposited into this one inbox.
With express, we were able to use the filter to download
only our own messages from the inbox.

I can't believe I am the only person having this issue
and I find it hard to believe that a more complete
product would have less functionality.

I tried using a rule that would delete it from my local
inbox and then re-forward it back to the server, but for
some reason, only does it one time. If it comes through
again, it just deletes it.

Any ideas?

Outlook rules act on messages AFTER they have been downloaded from the
server. Outlook does not have the option to delete from server or not
download.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
