One of my clients has a problem with their outlook software. It keeps downloading same emails over and over from their Yahoo email account. Is this Outlook or Yahoo problem? How is it fixed? Thanks.

Tools...........Accounts..............then select the Mail tab Select mail account in question, click Properties, then the Advanced tab. Check if the "Leave Copy Of Messages On Server" is checked or not. If it IS checked this could be why it is retrieving the same message over and over because usually once the message is retrieved from a server it is then deleted unless you specifically tell your email client program to leave a copy of the message on the server........via that particular check box "Don't eat yellow snow" Martin

I have a client to whom this is happening also. Cleaning out the server's e-mails helped. What I don't get is, why would outlook consider the message different each time it checks the mail? Is the simple answer just that it's plain retarded? The message that I was getting duplicates of was about seven months old! The mailbox was only supposed to have messages in it about 18 days old.
