Outlook rules vs. Outlook Express rules

[John]

In Outlook Express, under tools/message rules, the user
can choose "do not download it from server" and "delete
it from server" under the select action box. In Outlook
2000 it seems you can only have it deleted after it is
downloaded. Is there a way to get that feature in Outlook
2000?

No there's not AFAIK, but you can, in CWO mode, use remote mail and download
headers only. them nark the ones you don't want for deletion and they will
be deleted off the server next time you do a "Send and Receive". Not an
ideal solution I admit, but better than nothing.
