Outlook 2K receives every message message twice twice!!

[GaryDave]

I'm running Outlook 2K, have been for several years. All of a sudden,
I am getting most, but not all, emails twice - same message, same
delivery time. I've tried rebooting several times, but the duplicates
keep coming keep coming.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might do to stop the
program from generating all these junk messages?

Thanks!

If you recently installed a new AV (especially Norton) or Internet Security
Suite, remove the integration with Outlook. It may require you to uninstall
and then reinstall using the custom version and not install the Outlook
plug-in.

It is useless, redundant, a silly marketing ploy, and the cause of many
problems just like yours. Be happy you are only getting duplicates; there
have been reports of multiple messages, into the dozens, from others.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal

Milly -

Thanks for your quick reply. There's no anti-virus or other security
software running, so that can't be it. Any other known culprits?

Having more than one account defined, each account referencing the same mail
server, can produce the issue you see.

Thanks for your suggestion, but only one account is currently defined.
So neither security software nor dueling accounts seem to be the
problem.
