Duplicate Incoming e-mail messages

I recently purchased a new Palm Pre + smart phone and am trying to get my
email account set up for the phone. Originally, I would receive a few of my
incoming emails. Their tech support had me change my outlook e-mail settings
to "Leave a copy of messages on the server". I'm now receiving my e-mails on
my phone, but also receiving duplicate e-mails on my desktop. How can I
eliminate this duplication.

In Microsoft Outlook, do you have two or more account definitions checking
the same mailbox?

That is why you get the duplication. So this begs the question of why do
you have two account definitions in Outlook checking the same mailbox? On
second thought...

You could ask your ISP if they support IMAP or...

Have you considered getting a free e-mail account somewhere (e.g. G-Mail)
and have it pull e-mail in from ISP. At this point, connect Outlook to
G-Mail via the IMAP protocol. Have your Palm Pre connect to G-Mail using
IMAP.

If you haven't guessed my rationale, I don't like POP3's Leave Messages on
Server feature.
