Also Millstone may be able to set up his mail boxes on the server in
separate mailboxes. For example in Blueyonder.co.uk you can have up to four
mailboxes each mailbox can have four aliases. If this were done the separate
Outlook profiles would work for him as they do for me.

This indicates that the addresses are actually all aliases of a single
mailbox. Outlook doesn't have the ability to selectively download like OE
does. You have several choices. One is to configure Outlook to leave
copies of messages on the server and create a rule to delete all messages
except for those containing the specific recipient address (the "****"
part of the address). Another is to move the incoming messages into
separate folders depending on the recipient address. The third is to
convince your ISP that you want separate mailboxes for each family member.
I'd go with the latter first, if I could and the first choice I cite
otherwise.
