had one customer with a smiliar thing.. no matter what mail servers were
using, it seems to be a Outlook related problem. As far we could see this
behaviour only causes if someone tries not to delete the mails after
reading them through Outlook. So sometimes Outlook gets only the new one..
or even all again in one bunch. This never happened with other mail
clients.
