| No luck.
| Spent 5-6 hours backing up and cleaning Inbox and storage folders - which
| admittedly should have been done all along - following TaurArian's helpful
| advice and links. Then uninstalled and re-installed Outlook, then the entire
| Office Small Bus. Ed. 2003. (Thanks for that tip, Shenan Stanley). Also
| tried toggling the "Leave Message on Server" box. (Thanks, GTS).
| The only difference is the messages removed from the Inbox to a "Saved
| Inbox" PST folder to be dealt with later no longer download.
| I suppose we could download e-mail once a day and ensure everything is moved
| to a PST (even deleting with SHIFT-DELETE does not stop the messages being
| resent) but that seems like an archaic, brute-force approach.
| What we've gained from this exercise is a streamlined Inbox (good thing), XP
| SP3 updates (unknown thing), and a loss of years of accumulated junk e-mail
| filters and other Office settings (bad thing).
| Anyone have any ideas?
