I want to set a filter in Outlook (2003). It should filter in a way so that
only mails adressed to my mail are beeing retreived (we have a common mailbox
with more alias). It is an easy taks in Outlook Express, but i can't se how
to do in Outlook. Can anyone give me a pointer?
 
Outlook rules only work on downloaded messages, unlike OE where you can filter at the server level.

The easy answer is (AFAIK) that you can't. That's the problem with aliases.
Why not open a Googlemail account, then you can have truly separate email
addresses....
