Hello, I am having the same problem here. I called Ipswitch on it and they (Ipswitch) said that this is a bug in Outlook and they were not going to look at it further.
I have a problem with this response for the following reasons: 1. The last mail server software(SLMail) I used never did this. Don't get wrong, SLMail had more then enough issues... 2. I searched Microsoft's TechNet site and didn't find one related issue on receiving duplicate e-mails with Outlook clients using POP3 accounts. 3. I requested that Ipswitch send me the data that proves this is a Microsoft Outlook issue. I didn't get a response back. 4. Vendors should work together, not point fingers at one another. (OK, I am dreaming) OK, enough of the soap box... I have found that my users get duplicates after they are out of the office for a couple of days. I feel it has something to do with the number of messages on the server. Usually, this happens when the mailbox has over 200 messages. For those of you that are curious here is my network configuration: IMail server: Version 7.12 (upgraded last night, got duplicats this morning ) Dell 2550 Dual 1.4 Ghz with 1Gig Ram, Raid 5 (4 36gig drives). Right now I am only using the onboard 10/100 Nic. (trying to isolate the problem) Network: Extreme Networks Alpine 3808 (224 10/100 ports and 4 Gig ports). No network problems here <grin> If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Also, if I ruffled any feathers, please respond to me directly.

When they get to a certain number of messages on the server, Outlook appears to lose the ability to keep track of what it has downloaded, and downloads messages repeatedly. To fix that problem: Uncheck "leave messages on server", down load everything which wipes it off the server, re-check "leave messages on server", cleanup the mess in Outlook's inbox. Don't know if this is your user's problem or not . . .
