Default Outlook 2003 rule for incoming mails

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
HG

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.

Default Outlook 2003 rule for incoming mails

thanks all for your help, I think I understand the problem a little bit
better now. Beside of existing tools like the below one I ask myself:
There's supposed to be an event, if the address resolving took place and the
mail is finally delivered to the client. Why not just intercepting the
mail-receiving-event (or however it's called) with a VBA code, look up the
header and move the mail to wherever you want it ?

regards
HG
