Outlook 2002 & Exchange (relatively new installation).
Ever since Exchange all those of us with laptops and personal ISP's at home
(accessing dialup) are getting duplictions of much of our in-boxes whenever
we dial in. In my POP account I have it set to not save messages on the
server. Our tech guys (factory trained) are at a loss.

So you're pulling POP mail from Exchange? If so, that is not the best setup,
and this is only one of the potential problems with it. Ask your admins to
set up VPN or RAS to access the Exchange mailbox directly. No POP mail, no
PST files - just the Exchange mailbox, which you can sync to an offline
file. Talk to your admins about this.

Exchange is pretty expensive if all you need is POP, and if you aren't a
remote user who never goes to the office to use the full mailbox, it is not
a very good method for remote access.

If I've misunderstood, please feel free to correct me.
