Receiving Duplicate Emails

Periodically I receive multiple copies of my internet
email from my ISP. I am using Outlook 2000, I know the
email only exists once at my ISP side, my assumption is
that Outlook is not sending a response back to the ISP
indicating the email has been received so it stays in my
inbox on the ISP side.
Has anyone expeirienced this and is there a fix?

Thanks in Advance,
Rick
 
I have OUtlook 2000 on one of my users computers and she
started out with duplicate then triplicate and is now up
to 7 of each emails. Our ISP is Yahoo (which is near
impossible to contact). I had disabled my Norton virus
protection for email scanning, which someone had
recommended but it did not help. I searched through
Outlook options & somehow I had fixed it once (and forgot
to write down the fix) and now it is happening again after
4 days. I made sure that my Windows/Office updates were
up to date and now I will try to see if there is a service
pack or new patch that I may need to apply. I searched on
Google and get lots of hits on this problem but no real
solution. I am so surprised that Microsoft has not
addressed this!!

I have the same problem with Outlook 2000. Since I switched over from Outlook
Express I have begun receiving duplicates of some, but not all emails. Have
you found a 'fix'?

Check and see if you have any rules in place that copy certain mail
items. Also how many services do you have configured in Tools |
Services? Any redundant ones?

I have the same issue. But it only happens from one sender.
The sender is on Qwest, using Netscape's client. When he sends us an email,
we get many duplicates of it. When he sends the same email to AOL or Yahoo,
there are no duplicates.
We are on AT&T network, using Exchange 2003, on Server 2003 with Outlook
2003 as our email client. This happens to multiple users on my exchange
server but only with the one sender.

Sounds like a problem at the sender's end, doesn't it?
 
Here is an example of what is going on with my duplication problem.
When I email myself and 2 other people on my domain from my personal Yahoo
account, Yahoo will send the email out 3 times. My ISP will receive 3 copies.
My Exchange 2003 server will then download the 3 messages from our "global"
account and then re-distribute each message for each receipient in the
message, this sends 3 emails per user of the same message. I have contacted
my ISP and they have stated, "I cannot troubleshoot your exchange server."
Wouldn't this be a very common problem? Can anyone point us in the right
direction to correct this problem?

Sounds like you need to talk to Yahoo rather than your ISP - if your ISP is
receiving three messages for each recipient and passes them on to Exchange,
both it and Exchange are doing the right thing. It's the sender of the
three messages that's the problem...
