Duplicate email download after restart Outlook 2003sp2

If I click on Send and Receive after opening Outlook it downloads everything left on the servers, adding these messages to those downloaded last time I opened it, thus creating duplicates. If I now click Send and Receive repeatedly it will not re-download the old messages. (but will download new messages.) i.e. no more duplicates appear.
However, if I close Outlook 2003sp2 (wait for a few seconds) and then open it again, now the first time I click on Send and Receive it downloads everything stored on the server again. i.e. duplicates occur. If I open, download and close 5 times I get five duplicates in the inbox of each message stored on the server. (Sorry to be so verbose!)
I want to leave messages on the server for 5 days and have set the accounts to do this. I have several accounts that have different email addresses but share the same server and want to receive from them all.
I am on XPSP2 and, until yesterday, used OE and everything (as above) worked fine. I am a home user and thought, since I had Office 2003 ,I would give Outlook a try. I liked the Junk Email Filter and deleted (in Outlook 2003sp2) all my message rules.
So far, I have uninstalled and reinstalled office 2003 (Student and Teacher Edition) and updated it again to SP2. I have created a new .pst file and deleted the old ones, followed by exporting my data from OE and redoing all the option settings in Outlook. I have read all the Microsoft articles dealing with duplicates over the last few years and have noted the number of duplicate-removers for sale. The two I tried (LBE and MAPIlab) did not work. I have read numerous web posts complaining of similar problems.
Microsoft articles now claim that acknowledged duplicate problems are fixed in XPSp2 and Outlook2003sp2. However, unless I am doing something silly, I think that they are wrong, that the program is buggy and that I would be better off with OE. That could be coloured by the 10 hours of frustration I have incurred:)
Can anyone help, concur or commiserate, please?
Pat.
