| 885088 | 2010-05-15 21:31:00 | Do you have OE set up so it leaves a copy of all emails on the ISP mail server? Have you checked with your ISP for any current email service problems? | Jen (38) | ||
| 885089 | 2010-05-15 21:37:00 | No I am in a state of panic and running around like Beaker in the muppet show. Everytime I delete them they come back, got to go out now and fix a boat so will see what happens later. Thanks for help will ring xtra when I get back |

| 885090 | 2010-05-15 21:42:00 | I wouldn't panic. It does sound like you have set up your Outlook Express to leave a copy of all emails on the ISP mail server. For some reason, OE thinks it hasn't downloaded these emails before so it is doing it again (and again). When I have seen this problem before it has normally been a fault with the ISP mail servers. It may have resolved itself by the time you have come back. Once this issue is sorted, you may wish to reconsider if you really want to always leave a copy of your emails on the ISP mail server. |

| 885092 | 2010-05-15 22:01:00 | Log into Webmail in your browser and delete them at the ISP end. That is what you need to do as if you are downloading mail it is what you have left on the ISP server. This may be relevant as well, from www.insideoe.com If your POP3 mail account is configured to "leave a copy of messages on the server" under Tools | Accounts | <account> | Properties | Advanced, it sometimes happens that OE downloads the same messages each time you send and receive. This is caused by a damaged "Pop3uidl.dbx" file in your Identity's store folder. This file keeps track of which messages on the server have already been downloaded and should therefore be skipped on subsequent downloads. To fix the problem, simply delete the "Pop3uidl.dbx" file. The next time you check for mail, all the messages on the server will be downloaded again, but a new "Pop3uidl.dbx" will be created that should work properly on subsequent mail checks. |

| 885095 | 2010-05-16 01:49:00 | try this to locate the dbx file. Open outlook express -- tools/Options/maintenance Tab/ Store Folder Highlight and copy the complete location. Close Outlook express. Click Start/Run - Paste in the store folder location - Press OK -- Look and hopefully the pop3uidl.dbx will be there. |
