Default accepting certain addresses only

new to this group, and I don't use Outlook myself, so would be grateful
for any advice. Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

At the moment, we have two computers and two domains. Email for
HisDomain, which uses Outlook, goes to His computer and email for
MyDomain goes to Mine. But I am about to give up MyDomain and use an
address on HisDomain. How can I ensure that something addressed to me
gets to my computer and isn't picked up by his Outlook before I can get
to it? At the moment, even although only one address@HisDomain is on
the Outlook account, Outlook seems to pick up anything@HisDomain and
chucks it in the Junk Folder.

Actually I'm betting he has a "catch-all" account that catches all undefined
e-mail addresses (aaa@hisdomain, bbb@hisdomain, etc.) and forwards it to his
account. When he sets up your address @ hisdomain it won't get caught in
the catch-all because it will be a defined address and will only come to
you.

We both have demon accounts, which provide a sub-domain of Demon wholly
ascribed to each account. He collects mail via POP3 from
HisDomain.demon.co.uk.

I can configure my programme, Turnpike, to collect only certain
, and I would like to know how to force
Outlook to do this and not collect everything@HisDomain, as it appears
to do at the moment.

If Outlook is collecting all the mail from each hisdomain address, then one
of two things is true: the first is that he has multiple accounts defined in
Outlook that query each hisdomain mailbox and pull down the messages. The
more likely arrangement, though, is that all the hisdomain addresses are
actually aliases of the exact same mailbox on the demon server and not
really separate addresses at all. It's like you might get a letter
addressed to "Kate" and another to "Katherine". In this event, Outlook sees
only one Inbox on the server and, as far as its concerned, it's all the same
address. A POP server simply says "I've got X new messages" when a mail
client asks and doesn't distinguish those messages by receiving address.
When Outlook asks for those new messages, the POP server sends them all.

You have a few choices. One is to configure both Outlooks to leave messages
on the server when they download and to delete messages that aren't
addressed to the proper recipient. Another is to get a POP proxy that knows
how to selectively download (which Outlook can't do). A third (and the
option I'd choose) is to have the ISP delivery the different messages to
separate mailboxes and if they won't, to find another ISP.

I'm afraid this makes all too much sense. There are no multiple
accounts. Demon allow you to use as many aliases as you like@your
domain.demon.co.uk, but it is all the same account. However, in my
Turnpike programme, I can either download everything@cockaigne,
stipulating 'cockaigne' as the mailbox, or stipulate
'elviraspam+cockaigne' and just download email for that alias. I
thought there might be some way to configure Outlook to do this, but
clearly it can't. One reason why I stay with Turnpike...

Honestly I think it's an ISP problem and not an Outlook one. I have plenty
of POP users who are able to download individual mailboxes with Outlook just
fine.
