It almost sounds like you are importing a PST file because you got duplicates. There is something you can check to not import duplicates.
Hopefully with more info someone here can help you.  |
I'll try to be clearer. I'm not using exchange or importing from .pst. There are two situations.
First, I am downloading mail from Yahoo (onto two different computers) in Outlook 2007 using POP3. So when I reinstalled Windows and Outlook, it went back to day one and downloaded several thousand e-mails even though they were already in the In Box I had restored and set as default. In other words, it acted like a brand new installation even though I pointed it to a .pst file I'd been using for several years.
Second, I am doing the same from Gmail. However for Gmail I have to include the word recent: in the setup before the username or the mail will download onto one or the other computer only, but not both.
In neither case have I figured out a way to simply download the missing mail for the days the system was down.
I hope this helps.
