Hi all,

First post, but have beeen using this forum as a great resource!

I have dug high and low on this issue and there is some clarification, but I still can't seem to get things working properly. Sorry for the long post.

Here's my issue

- My ISP provides me with an email account. The mail account is a POP3 account.

- I have 3 computers in my house, of which one is running Outlook 2007 while the other 2 are running 2003.

- I have placed my PST file on a Network attached storage device so that I can open my email from any computer.

- I have Blackberry that I pull my messages from the POP3 account.

- I have to set my email account in Outlook to leave messages on the server for a day or two in the event that I have my Outlook open and I download the messages and the email never gets pushed to my BB.

- So here's the issue. If I open Outlook on one computer it successfully downloads the messages no problem - all good.

- but if I happen to be sitting on another computer and load Outlook, it re-downloads the messages cause they are still on the POP3 server and for some reason, Outlook can determine if it already exists in the PST file and I end up with a whack of duplicates.

So, am I missing something or is there a setting that I should have on or off.

Please help!
