More Duplicate E-mails Outlook 2003

[Still Looking]

I am having this problem in spades. They are not just duplicate e-mails,
i.e., not just 2 copies of emails coming from the server. Rather, I am
getting literally thousands of copies of three particular e-mails, one of
them a legit e-mail, the other 2 junkmail. I delete them on a daily basis,
but they keep coming in. The sender of the legit e-mail checked with her ISP
and they found no problem. MY ISP found no problem. Dell (my computer
vendor) has no solution. The "hot fix" you identified seems to be only for
SP1 users; I have SP2. Any ideas/solutions out there???

I get multiple emails frequently on two different computers. On one the
email messages are definitely not scanned. Not sure of the other. Still the
same problem in both. The problem seems to happen most often if I have a
message with a large attachment (such as over 500KB). On both computers the
messages remain on the server for about a week so I can sync multiple
computers.

Sometimes deleting the large email solves the problem after all of the
messages dolwnoaded one more time. Sometimes downloading headers solves the
problem. Is there a fix? I have Office SP1 installed.

Dear All,

I am glad to find this thread. I have been having this problem consecutively
for 10days or more now. Apparently, there are some of my colleagues with same
problem but some of them not. One of them said that once he close and reopen
outlook, it works fine. As for me, it has been downloading my 500++ emails
everyday without fail. I cant delete them from server coz they are needed
when i travel. So outlook is suppose to allow us to keep a copy in server,
that is the whole purpose so i hope you guys can find a solution for that and
not just having it deleted from server as a solution. I was using outlook
express for a few years till 2 weeks ago, and i never had that problem. Pls
see what you guys can do. thanks a million.

Joanne

My boyfriend has this problem as well, the funny thing is that only he has
this problem, my outlook 2003 works perfectly even with "leave a copy of the
message on server" thingy on, however if he activates it he receives from 3
different POP3 email accounts: mcgill, novaradio and gmail, all the messages
everyday, he even tried reinsatlling windows and msoffice, the problem
persists, through logic I would say in this case that some Outlooks have this
bug and some don't. Another reason I believe it's MS it's because I have 2 of
my e-mails on the same servers :mcgill and gmail, and I have no prb. Someone
needs to leave all these log requests asside and actually work on the bug and
fix it, not shift the blame here and there.

Office SP2 is supposed to address the problem of downloading duplicate
messages from a POP server when the "leave a copy on the server" option is
selected.

But it doesn't.

But it doesn't.

Open a support call with Microsoft.

I have oulook 2003, when I turn it on, it starts downloading messages, over
and over.. sometimes up to 10 of the same message, I start deleting, it keeps
downloading more.. where and why are they duplicating? how do I stop this?
how can I just erase them before they come to my computer? seems a lot of
people have this problem, is it a worm someone spread? thanks. wayne
