That might be the explanation for the rare cases where I can see two different receiving servers, but I have 114 duplicated messages that I stuck into a folder labeled duplicates during a two day period (I probably get fewer than 100 personal emails a day, so that's most of them). There has to be something other than a rare occurrence causing that. -- Jan Martel in Davis, CA G4PB 15" Al; System 10.3.8 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
