Can MIcrosoft outlook be configured to check the message subject for a specific word when checking mail and prevent messages containing that word from downloading as one can do in Outlook Express
Yes. you can apply a rule to seach for text in the body of mail to filter incoming mails
I think by filtering , you can move a message having a specific word to a separate folder only. But I want to avoid downloading those messages which I don't want to read (ie from a specific mail id). I havn't found any such option in MS Outlook. If its there, tell me where it is.
