So the email program downloads all the emails because it just looks for the part after the @. So I tell the filter to check the name (eg neil@) and what to do with the message. Does that make sense?

I still don't understand. Maybe this is a problem with your ISP. With my ISp I can set up any number of xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailboxes and on my linux box I use Mozilla just to get mine. On her widows laptop the wife uses some widows prog to do the same and in the workshop I run another Linux box with its own email. Now my ISP lets me set up different passwords for these accounts so maybe that's the difference?
