How to delete duplicate emails

[Guest]

Can i write a macro or something to get rid of all these duplicate emails I
have? When I upgraded and migrated from OE, Outlook 2003 decided to
redownload all 2100 emails i had on the server... so now there are 2 copies
of everything. And now it wants to do it AGAIN. It'll download my new stuff
and then start re-downloading everything else again. I am thinking just to
let it do that and then write a macro to erase all duplicates (though i took
one class that covered VBS for about 3 weeks - and this was 5 years ago...)
I cannot figure this out. I have to leave the emails on the server cuz i use
them from another PC. But in terms of sorting / finding mail - having 2-3
copies of each message is annoying (and takes up memory). Any ideas about
the macro? Also, do I have something wrong in the account settings?

Thanks! Sorry I couldn't find it myself. It's a good deal for $15... will
save me 10 hrs in deleting.
