I have a email rule that says "If a message is from a specified address
and if there is an attachment delete it from the server".
Problem is, the rule doesn't work. The message gets downloaded anyhow.

Another rule may be affecting the message.
In general:
Have all rules that divert mail to folders first.
Delete it from server next.
All others last.
Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked,
unless that option is grayed out.

Well the only other mail rule I have deletes messages from the server if
the subject line is blank. (And that seems to be working.) It was in first
place but I've moved it to second to see if that makes a difference.

My bad. E-mails with attachments won't delete from server. The only option
is to change it from Delete it from server to Delete it & Stop processing
more messages to send it to Deleted Items.
