If you have an antivirus plugin set for scanning mail, disable it.

After scratching one's head,
gable@gable.com <gable@gable.com> asked this group:
| I am having basically the same problem. Over time, I have
| found that if there is any error in downloading messages,
| it will try to download all messages again, including the
| ones it got successfully. I'm now stuck with it
| downloading hundreds of messages everytime. DID YOU EVER
| FIGURE IT OUT?

| Thanks!

|| This is strange.
||
|| Outlook 2002 keeps downloading the same emails over and over. I need
|| to have the emails kept on the server, but as a result, since they
|| aren't deleted upon download, they are available for download later
|| on.
||
|| Well, what happens is that each time I start up Outlook 2002, my
|| inbox goes crazy and it starts downloading everything in all of my
|| accounts. I have about 10 pop3 accounts. This wasn't an issue
|| before, but ever since I transfered my settings over to a new
|| install it has been doing this.
||
|| What the heck causes it?? I've tried everything I can think of. I
|| don't understand why it only downloads all of the emails *AFTER* I
|| restart outlook. If I just keep outlook open, it will not do this.
|| Obviously whatever file keeps track of what emails have been
|| downloaded is corrupt. Or so I think.
||
|| Does anybody have any idea what's going on here? I'm getting sick of
|| having to delete 1000 emails everytime I start outlook!
