Default Outlook keeps re-downloading emails from server

Hi,

I am using Outlook 2007. My problem is that Outlook keeps re-downloading the same emails from the server. Due to this at any given point, I have about 2000 odd emails downloading and I am unable to view my latest emails.
I have checked with my webmail service providers and they have assured me that there is no problem with the webmail and the issue is with outlook.
Please help as to how to solve this problem as it happens repeatedly, even if delete the account and add it again.


Regards,
Rivz

Hi Rivz,

Could you please confirm the type of account you are using? Exchange, POP, IMAP, EAS? I suspect this issue is being caused by the type of account you are using couples with send-receive options set within Outlook.

When did this issue start? Is this a recently created profile? Was it working correctly at one point? More information is needed.

Thanks.

Hi HighFlyTechGuy,

We have the same issue with Rivs and we're using POP. It was working fine until we did a system clean and reinstall.

Thanks!

Hello Floyd,

Please inspect the following article, I think your problem may be that the "leave a copy of messages on the server" checkbox may be checked, which would result in emails being downloaded every time Outlook starts up. I'm not sure how this behaviour works when only accessing email using the same client, but I imagine it could cause the issue you are encountering.

Let me know if this doesn't help and I will continue exploring possibilities.
