SYMPTOMS In Outlook Express 5, if you receive Post Office Protocol (POP3) e-mail from an account that has a copy of messages left on the server, you may receive duplicate messages from the server each time you send and receive.

Follow these steps: Click Exit on the File menu to quit Outlook Express. Click Start, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders. In the Search for files or folders named box, type Pop3uidl.dbx, and then click Search Now. Under Search Results, right-click the Pop3uidl.dbx file, and then click Rename. Type Pop3uidl.old, and then press ENTER. To start Outlook Express, click Start, point to Programs, and then click Outlook Express. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Doug Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 11:04:20 -0500 >#1 >Tools, options, maintence, store folder >move all the files in that directory to a safe location >Go into outlook express - will created the db and indexes. >re-import emails from safe location > >or > >#2 >download dbxtract >http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23383,00.asp >extract all the emails >delete the files in the store folder >Go into outlook express - will created the db and indexes. >drag extracted emails back into outlook express > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "freebsd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:33 AM >Subject: [IMail Forum] Multiple copies of same email > > >> >> Hello All, >> >> I have a customer that uses OE and he keeps getting the same emails over >and over again, his setup does not include "leave mail on server". >> >> I think OE has an index file that tells the server what emails it has >already downloaded and I think that file is probably corrupt, but I can't >remember the file name.
