I am sure this has been asked many times, but could someone please tell me how to stop Outlook 2003 (winth XP home) from intermittently downloading some messages twice (and occasionally up to five times)? I get a lot of spam as well as regular mail and on some days I have over 500 messages to sort through.

Thank you very much.
 
Thanks.
Its a POP account, only my address, no multiple addresses from the account
(if I understand the question correctly) and yes - I synchronice with a Palm
T/X at least daily. However, I was away for three days without
synchronising, and on opening Outlook, it seemed the download from the
server got 'stuck' several times, and then restart. I assume this is how the
duplicates arose, but I also assumed that the messages were deleted from the
server as they were downloaded.

I appreciate your help.

Hi Nick,

First, if you can log on to your Pop server on the Web (ie, if your provider
has a web access client,) see if the e-mails are being duplicated there or
just in Outlook.

In Outlook, you might try deleting and setting up the account anew. Back up
your .pst first just in case.
