155414 2003-06-26 21:59:00 Every time I click the send recieve button on my outlook xp if downloads the same freakin messages from the server. I'm pretty sure that I had Leave Messages on Server ticked OFF, but now I can't remember where the setting was.

Can anyone help?

.Cheers

Choose the Account you want, Edit-Advanced tab and you should see the option to remove the emails off the server.

155416 2003-06-27 08:00:00 Even if you had "leave mail on server" ticked Outlook knows you have received the message and you would not receive it again.

It is more likely that you are getting stuck on a large email and each time you try to get your mail it starts over again and downlaods the same message.
Contact your ISP and get them to delete the message causing the problem.

If you want to check the leave mail on server setting.
Tools/E-mail accounts
Select View or change settings and click next
Click on Change for the highlighted account
Click on "More Settings" near the bottom
Click on the Advanced Tab
You will see Delivery at the bottom and a box to select or deselect.
