My new Outlook 7 keeps delivering double emails. Ideas?

[yvette]

I just bot a dell studio 15 laptop with outlook 7. When I used the easy
transfer system many of my emails were doubled up. I had AVG on my last
system and many of them came with an AVG certificate as an attachment.

Now all of my emails are doubled - no AVG cert though.

Any help is appreciated

Easy transfer doesn't work well for outlook data, and often corrupts the
Outlook Profile
The method for transferring data is generally posted here several times a
day.
You can either start over with a fresh data file or use a duplicate finder
tool

BTW An integrated AV scanner often causes problems with Outlook

Both the Windows Easy Transfer tool and letting AVG integrate itself with
Outlook are things you really should not use when it comes to Outlook ;-)

Which mail account type are you using? It sounds to me like you are using
POP3.

The best way to get your system back to a workable state is to recreate your
mail profile. After that, copy over the pst-file from the old computer to
the new one and reconnect to the pst-file via;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

This guide goes more in-depth about receiving duplicates in Outlook. Take a
look at the "Profile recreation" section;
