repeated pop downloads

[Bill]

I'm using Outlook 2002 (SP3). Messages on my pop server get downloaded
repeatedly -- every time I send/receive. This happens only for some
messages.

The same problem is not occurring on the same server with the same account
in Mozilla's mail client, so it's not a POP server issue; rather an Outlook
issue.

I see several posts here with similar problems, but no solution. Is there
one?

At this time, I believe it's a known issue and there isn't a fix - check
office update for sure. One cause is a bad connection - outlook gets
disconnected before it marks the messages downloaded or deletes them.
