Multiple copies of E-Mail messages

D

David Spengler

I am using Outlook 2002 (10.4219.4219) SP2 with a Windows XP Professional
operating system.

Just in the last couple days I've started to experience a problem with
incoming e-mail messages. I use Outlook to retrieve e-mail from at least
four different accounts, from at least two different servers.

When I receive a new e-mail message that is addressed to one of these e-mail
accounts, I get two extra copies of that message, and each of these extra
copies are addressed to two of my other accounts. So what I end up with is
three copies with three different TO: addresses. This only happens when the
mail is addressed to Account 1. If the mail is addressed to Account 2 or
Account 3, no multiplication occurs. This problem just started a couple
days ago, and I haven't made any changes in settings. Has my copy of
Outlook been infected with something? What can I do to correct the problem?

Did you add an anti-virus program in the last 2 days and set the mail
checker to check incoming and outgoing mail? If yes ,turn it off.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

No changes were made to the anti-virus software, or any other software, as
far as I know.

Also, I send all mail from Account 2, and have my settings so that all
replies get sent to Account 1 (the problem account). No other changes.
