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. -- Kate B PS 'elvira' is spamtrapped - please reply to 'elviraspam' at cockaigne if you want to reply personally |

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. -- -Ben- Ben M.

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. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] t |

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... -- Kate B PS 'elvira' is spamtrapped - please reply to 'elviraspam' at cockaigne if you want to reply personally |

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. -- -Ben- Ben M.
