    I use Outlook Express Version 5.x.  I can safely say that with my
version I can set the following Message Rules.

Condition:
    "Where the message size is more than size"  then set your max size in
KB.
Action:
    "Do not Download it from server"

Condition:
    "Where the message size is more than size"  then set your max size in
KB.
Action:
    "Delete it from server"


I am under the impression that in older versions of Outlook Express you
would move these to the bottom of your rules list to ensure that they are
executed first but in my version I had to move them to the top.  For me,
when they were at the bottom Outlook Express tried to download the message.
I, of course, was very mean to Outlook Express and disconnected from the
Internet.
  Simply hitting cancel doesn't stop the message downloading.  Outlook
thinks it should complete the download of the current message before
canceling.  In the words of the famous Jar Jar binks "How Wude ?!?!"...
Translates to "How Rude ?!?!"
