If you start using aliases, from another post:

If is only running in OE on the desktop and is only
running in OE on the laptop *and* the addresses are not aliases for the same
mail account (AKA mailbox) at ISP.com, then yes, you've got it right.

If they /are/ aliases for the same mail account, you'll need to use Message
Rules to filter messages on both machines. The following refers to two
addresses, but you should be able to follow it and amend for three or more.

In the OE identity associated with , create a Message Rule
stating, "Where To or CC contains , Do not download it from the
server" and place this rule at the very top of the list.

Then create a similar rule for the OE identity associated with
directing any messages addressed to not to be downloaded from the
server.

You can create a message rule,
on Tom's computer
if the Subject line contains specific words, Stop processing more rules.
Click on contains specific words, Add Tom.

Create a rule on each computer changing the name.

Hi,
We have 3 computers on a LAN (all connect to ISP via ADSL). Any one of us
can and does open Outlook Express on their unit and download the emails.
We have only one account i.e. . At present we redirect the
mail to each other by " File/Save as" to a directory on the appropriate
machine. Problem is some of us forget to do this and others forget to
check their "directory" for mail .

1)Is it possible to redirect the email to that machines Express folders
inbox.

2) Although we all use the same email address all emails sent to us has a
different subject line i.e. Tom , Dick or Harry. Could Express redirect to
the correct machines inbox using the subject line as a "Rule"

3) We can give each user their own alias.. Is it possible to do 1 and/or 2
above using the alias.

I heard there was an OE add-on as well as a way to make each machine to be
a mini server. ?


Thanks for any help

Tom
