Hi Niki,
It looks to me as if this is a problem on your mail server rather than with
Outlook. From the logs, there were 11 messages sitting in your
pop.1und1.com mailbox, then they went away, then they came back. When they
went away, Outlook removed the entries for the messages from its knowledge
of which messages it had downloaded, because they were gone. So when they
came back, it appeared to Outlook as if they were new and it downloaded
them again.
I wonder - I've seen some posts in the groups that indicate that with some
ISPs, marking a message as 'read' in a webmail interface or via an IMAP
account makes them unavailable to POP3 download. So maybe if the messages
got marked as 'read' through webmail, then marked as 'unread' again, you
could see this behavior where the messages seem to disappear and then
reappear. Could this have happened?
Relevant sections from the logfile, in case you want to bring this up with
your ISP and ask them what's going on:
