Bill,
thanx a lot, I will test it, it seems it may help. I know, the root reason
is the IMAP feature, which keeps the mails on server and once they are
archived and deleted from Outlook folders, next time I connect they are
downloaded again (ie. also archived later again).
The only FULL solution would be to set-up the Outlook archiver not create
multiple copies in the archive, but just update the archive by differencies.
But I still don't know if anyone in MS was thinking this way.
Thanks again,
Peter
