Outlook redownloading emails

[Tuck]

I use a POP3 email for work and i had to reconfigure my user acct on my
computer and thus alot of setting for many programs and now outlook wants to
download all 4,000 emails from my work email account, but they are already in
my inbox & deleted folder. Can i stop it from doing this but still get the
new emails from today forward? Thanks

Unlikely, but some POP3 servers have an option which the user can configure
to set from which date the emails should be offered again. You should check
the options which are available to you when using the web based mail reader
of your POP3 account.
