I keep getting the same email with the same date (now about a week old).
It appears that it is the same old new email on the server.
My Outlook (Office 2003 SP2 fully patched) keeps downloading the same email.
I have one account (POP3) configured on this system.
The email account is configured to be left on the server after it is
downloaded.
The email is checked from two different systems (one at day one at night)
But both are not running at the same time
New mail sends and receives normally.
I Deleted the email many times and it stil comes back.
This happens occasionally and then goes away.
But fills the inbox for days or weeks.
 
Is this true for the same e-mail on both computers? If so the corruption is
likely within the message itself.
If not; something is preventing the proper closing of the connection. Most
likely causes are a too strictly set firewall or a virusscanner that does
incoming/outgoing mailscan and is acting up.

Tested turning off the antivirs and firewall.
Message kept marching through.
We have had this with one other person here on one message.
(different message different sender)
Does not appear to be firewall or antivirus.
If this is a corrupt email, do we have to delete this on the remote mail
server?
 
That is the eassiest solution. If you want to dig deeper you need to turn on
logging and analyze the log to find out what exactly is going on.
