The truth is there is a bug in the way Outlook pulls the email from the
server using POP3. The rest, about changing how often it checks mail,
turning off AV, installing the hotfix etc. is just urban legend. There is a
bug and the bug has not been fixed.

Here is another possible cause of this problem, which I find among many of
the people I support.

If your Outlook (or Outlook Express) mail setttings for POP3 are set to
keep messages on the mail server and the mailbox on the mail server
exceeds 25MB, Outlook and Outlook Express may time out on retrieving
messages and start over to retrieve the messages again. This also depends
on your Internet connection speed and computer's performance; if all
messages are able to retrieve in Outlook or Outlook Express before the
timeout occur, this problem is not visible.

The solution is to change your mail settings in Outlook or Outlook Express
not to keep messages on the mail server.

This also leads in to another problem, how to remove duplicate e-mails in
Outlook or Outlook Express.

Dear, My Outlook 2003 is receiveing the same e-mails messages many
times (every time the outlook 2003 send/receive) , it receives the
messages again. I think there's a patch from microsoft to solve this
problem, but I do not know where to get it

Or, if Milly's idea doesn't help, to try a new mail profile or make sure
Office SP2 is installed.
