Recently switched from Outlook Express to Outlook (Office 2003)

I have my email settings to "leave a copy on the server" for 6 days (so I
can access via webmail while on the road).

Everytime I close Outlook and re-launch it re-downloads all the emails still
on the server.

How do I change settings so it only downloads each message once and never
again?

Thanks in advance!!!

What is the mail poll interval configured in Outlook?

How many mails are currently residing in your mailbox? Use the webmail
interface to your account to check. How big are they?

Tried disabling the e-mail scanner in your anti-virus program?

Tried starting Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe") and
retest?
