Hello. I am so lost. I have a few e-mail accounts set up on my computer
which retrieves my mail from a couple of different providers and deposits the
mail into my Outlook Inbox. Up until yesterday, my mail always has worked
fine. For some strange reason, my Outlook is now (Again) retrieving my
messages from all of my accounts I had set up, which are all duplicates of my
messages. There is now nearly 4,000 duplicate messages in my folders. I
can't seem to stop the download of these already retrieved messages. To top
things off, a couple of my email account login windows keep popping up asking
me for my password, which I keep putting in but it doesn't seem to taking.
The weird thing is that e-mail is still being retrieved from these accounts.
I have Outlook 2002, which I believe was included in my 2002 MS Office XP
Pro. I have been up to date with my MS Patches and all of my Norton Internet
security updates. HELP, PLEASE!!!!!!
 
Not usure if this will help, but check this in Outlook:
Tools>Options>Mail Setup>More Setting>Advanced
then make sure the box "Leave Messages on Server" is unchecked this would
cuase the same msgs to be downloaded multiple times.

Check each of your mail accts.

I have had that box "checked" for the last year and haven't had a single
issue. I keep a copy on the respective servers so that I have a back up of
my email should I have a major laptop faiure and lose everything.

Becuase I have never experienced this problem before, I am inclined to think
that it is something else that is causing this to happen.
 
as well you should

Kim,

I am experiencing the same problem. I posted on August 16th and the only
help I got was to an article: http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/duplicates.htm

I have followed these suggestions and even purchased Duplicate Email Remover
from MAPI Lab.

Nothing has helped and I continue to have the problem and run Duplicate
Email Remover a number of times each and every day.

I hope that we can both get someone to reply that actually has a solution!
PLEASE!!!

Sincerely,
Sonny Martin

DIsabling the option to leave messages on the server will certainly fix the
problem.
