if nothing else works, rather than using the from field, use a words in the
header rule where the words are the email addresses you want to filter.

Hi,
lets say I have a contact "John Miller" with the primary e-mail address
and secondary . I would
like
to set up a rule which only applies to some of John Millers addresses, but
not to others, i.e. if I receive an e-mail addressed to jmiller I would
like
to forward it or move it to another folder or delete it, but that
shouldn't
apply to mails sends to john.miller.

The problem is, if I setup a definition for that, Outlook overwrites the
e-mail address with the "John Miller" contact information and that results
in a rule that applies to any of John Milles e-mail addresses and not to
an
individual one. The same happens if I try to create a new contact with
only
the e-mail addresses I want to use in the rule: a soon as I enter the
jmiller address, Outlook overwrites it with the "John Miller" contact and
it's contents. How to suppress that ?

That should be solved as an individual rule for one client (and perhaps
other rules for other clients, if possible without changing the
definitions
on the Exchange server.)

thanks for your help
