What kind of mail account is it?
Duplicate Hotmail/MSN Messages OLEXP: Hotmail Messages Are Downloaded Twice http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=296447 Also, reportedly you should turn off the option to open in the Inbox and/or the option to send and receive at startup. A similar issue applies to IMAP. For POP3 accounts, POP3UIDL.DBX (OE5+) file may be corrupted. This is used to track previously downloaded messages when you leave messages on a POP3 server (Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced). However, the file gets updated even if you aren't leaving messages on the server. Delete the file with Outlook Express or Internet Mail closed. (On Win2000 you need enable the display of Hidden or System files in the folder options and XP you need to use the advanced options to find Hidden or System files.) The next time all mail on the server will be downloaded. But after that the file should function correctly again. You could also have this issue is you have mail multiple accounts with the same mail service that are aliases of each other and you use the Leave A copy on the Server option. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "divoch" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your reply. It is POP3 account. I had networked desktop and
laptop which I was synchronising using sync software. My desktop is dead right now and this is my laptop where it is happening. I shall check laptop setup and deal with POP3UIDL.DBX as you suggest. and see what happens divoch "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ... What kind of mail account is it?
