from my ISP i got only ONE email adress, but several aliases. every one in my
family uses one alias. when i download mail from that email adress, i also get
the mails from my family. in outlook express, there is an filter called "dont
download from server", which leaves or ignores this mail. on my computer their
mails are filtered out. on an other computer my mails are filtered out, so
everyone only gets his/her mails.

=> add a message filter which leaves, ignores or dont download a mail from the
server (or however you want to call it)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
I would also benefit from the "Do not download from Server" filter. Because it
isn't there, we have had to revert back to OE - and are unable to pass on the
recommendation to others who we know rely on this filter command.
Please, could someone try and resolve this in time for the next release. Cheers!

I think you can solve this using Header Only downloads. For headers that you
don't want to receive, set a Filter action "Delete the message". This will only
delete the local header, not the full body on the server. Then after the rest of
the headers are downloaded, you can get their full message bodies and none of
the headers you didn't want will get downloaded.
Ah, found it... bug 74430
