Duplicate emails in Outlook 2002

Jul 28, 2005 10:22PM PDT

Since upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook XP (2002 SP3) I receive simultaneous duplicate emails on one of the three email addresses I use. I have checked the email accounts and they are not duplicated. There are no 'rules' set up for Outlook. Can anyone advise what might be causing this?

But it's spam messages and they are sending it twice.

It could be a settings problem in Outlook (although the most obvious - leave messages on server - would cause them to be received over and over, not just twice) or a problem with that ISP.

Configure the account in Outlook Express, and see what happens there. If that's wrong also, it's not your problem. If that's OK, I should delete the account in Outlook and re-enter it.

Hope this helps.
