Although it may just be an aberration (as I don't always have my
deleted mail re-sent, although most frequently do), it appears that
once I disabled "allow online access" within the "options" section
within the "Accounts" setup for POP3 accounts; the last several emails
which I deleted which were still on the server for varying periods of
time, weren't resent (which is very good).
If this was the problem, it appears that Entourage 2004 was in some
way treating the two listed views, (one being the server's mail queue,
and the other being the client's mail box state) as distinct mail
clients, such that apparently depending on the order that requests for
updates were sent and/or received by the server and/or responses
received by the client, it appears that on frequent occasion, a single
Entourage 2004 client for single account, was being perceived as two
different clients, possibly because Entourage 2004 may be initiating
distinct sessions for each, as opposed to treating the two as one and
the same, with simply different logical views of the single email
account.
(Again just speculation, but so far so good; if this actually does
stop the problem, its a reasonable temporary solution, but would have
been a lot easier for Microsoft to just figure this out and disclose
it, rather than forcing it's customers to debug it's software).
