I was having the same conclusion that this was an Outlook client issue too, but now have reservations with this explanation as I witnessed the duplicate bug on a separate brand new install of a mail client (theBat). I popped my accounts after a fresh install. Then a few hours later after it ran normally checking for new mail every 10 minutes, the duplicates started coming in. It also happened on my Outlook 2000 client simultaneous.
It seems like a bug between IMail and how e-mail clients interact. Does anyone know if other mail server software's have this issue? Does anyone know what flag is set by a mail client to IMail so it knows an email has already been downloaded? Does the mail client append the .mbx file? -Don S. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Smart Business Lists > Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 1:34 PM > To: Don Schreiner > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Duplicate E-mail Messages in Client SOftware > > Don, > > I have experienced this.
