John, We see this happen with POP accounts on occasion, almost always when the client has their POP client set to check for new mail every 1 or 2 minutes. If they have a large amount of email with attachments then they are not downloading the full set of messages before their client begins to check for new email again. This gets the client into an endless loop of downloads.
We tell the client to either up the time interval on mail checking (we recommence 10 minutes minimum) or close down their POP client and login via webmail and delete the messages they have already received Hope this helps...

I don't know if the issues are related or not, but this is what I have been experiencing. Some of my users are reporting mail being downloaded several times.No known changes made to server configuration - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with IMail Premium 2006.2 and Declude 4.3.64. I went to one user's computer and checked the Outlook configuration and found the following - Mail was downloading multiple times - the exact number of messages that show in the WebMail inbox.POP3 Client configuration does NOT have checked to save mail on server. I had to take the system down for a while because it seemed my hard disk space was literally vanishing before my eyes.WebMail has also been extraordinarily slow compared to normal access times since turning it back on, but just on first access.It seems to be fine after having been in an account once. I have no real reason to suggest it, but it almost acts as if the system is rebuilding files, or converting them, or something like that.I did not do any kind of upgrade on the IMail server, and haven't for some time, because I'm getting out of the current box and splitting domains later this summer.For some reason it just all seemed to break loose at about 2:00 PM today after months of no real issues. The hard drive IS running thin on space, but it has been doing so for several weeks without apparent issue. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, John Richardson
