Multiple E-mail
Downloads
Getting multiple
downloads of the same e-mail every time you connect to the mail server then you may have '
leave copies of messages on server ' ticket in the advanced section of the mail account
properties.
Tools/Accounts/Properties/Advanced
If leave copies of messages on the sever is ticked there should be no reason for multiple
downloads of the same e-mail unless the pop3uidl.dll file is corrupted. This file holds a
list of the mail that has already been downloaded to the client so it does not get
downloaded from the server more than once. If the file has been corrupted then the list
cannot be read when the e-mail client connects to the mail server. If leave copies of
messages on server is ticked then the mail will be left on the mailserver and and the
entire contents will be downloaded every time.
To fix this problem just delete the pop3uidl.dll file and then restart the computer. The
file should then recreate itself and will no longer be corrupted. The file can usually be
found in
C:\WINDOWS\ApplicationData\Identities\Microsoft\OutlookExpress.
If not just search for the file in Find Files.
