bhuk Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 For Outlook Express.If a POP3 mail account is configured to leave a copy of messages on the server (Tools, Accounts, [the account], Properties, Advanced), OE downloads the same messages during a send or receive session. Duplicate message will also be downloaded which can occur if the file Pop3uidl.dbx is corrupted. This file keeps track of which messages on the server have already been downloaded and should therefore be skipped on subsequent downloads, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhuk Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Do you have any of your email accounts repeated in any other identities? RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, turn off e-mail reception for one of the POP3 accounts: 1. In OutlookExpress, on the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups. 2. Double-click the group that contains the two POP3 accounts, and under Accounts, click one of the POP3 accounts. 3. Click to clear the Receive mail items check box.
