Why do I keep getting repeated copies of the same incoming email

[Guest]

I have just upgraded to Outlook '03 and I have received 4 or 5 new separate
emails, but have received numerous copies of each one - 310 copies at last
count. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Do you have rules set up that make copies? What anti-virus software are
you using? What services do you have listed under Tools | Services?

We figured it out. I was having my server keep copies of each email and every
time Outlook checked, it found them and sent them to me again. So by not
having my server keep the messages, they were not there for Outlook to find
over and over.
Thanks Ben.

This is a documented issue in Outlook 2003. See
