I use Outlook personnally and often switch back & forth, sometimes leaving messages on my Imail server (other times not). I have not experienced the duplicate mail problem. FWIW Jim

Or does anyone know of a way to get Outlook to leave messages on the server without getting duplicates? Is this an issue that can be resolved by beefing up my mail server so that it handles the index files on the server?

Leaving mail worked fine for months then all of a sudden we started getting duplicated messages. Never got it resolved, just had to stop leaving mail on server.
