Outlook on my laptop and have configured my yahoo id in it. But when I
configured the outlook for same yahoo account on my pc, by copying the old

Hello Friends, I have a pc running XP and a laptop running Vista. I use
Outlook on my laptop and have configured my yahoo id in it. But when I
configured the outlook for same yahoo account on my pc, by copying the old
.pst file from laptop into my pc, the same mails are being getting
downloaded
in Inbox. How can I resolve this issue.

This is normal. There's no way for one PC to know that another PC has already
downloaded the messages. The way to deal with it is one of several ways: 1)
log into Yahoo with your web browser, create another folder, and move the
messages from Inbox to that other folder. If they're not in Inbox, Outlook
can't download them. 2) allow Outlook to download them and then use a
duplicate remover to delete them. Sime removers are here:

it the delivery location, allow the duplicates to download, switch the
delivery location back to the original PST, then delete the PST containing the
duplicates.
