641311 2008-02-18 02:55:00 I don't know why it's happening, but recently I began receiving multiple copies of emails sent by certain people or organisations. The emails are being sent to two different email addresses (one Paradise, one a webmail server) and are coming from two different addresses - one is an army contact (I get three copies of everything she sends me) and the other is Trade Me (just started getting two copies of everything from them today).

Any ideas on what is causing this and is there a way to stop it? Thankfully most are just text emails, but I dread it when one of them sends me a 10MB file as has happened in the past! I'm not sure if it is happening on the webmail server because it's always been when I've got Outlook open that they arrive in multiples.

As far as I know I haven't changed any settings - I'm running Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2003.

641312 2008-02-18 02:58:00 Is Outlook set to leave a copy of messages on the server? Also, are you on dial up, or broadband? wratterus (105)

Check your Tools/Rules and Alerts.

641315 2008-02-18 04:14:00 I'm on broadband (well, what passes for it in the country...) and did discover there were a couple of rules that appeared to be doubled up but it still doesn't explain three copies! I hadn't realised there was a problem, but I have no idea what they mean by do not begin a synchronisation at about the same time the deleted items folder is emptied - eh? Beemer (6956)
