MMM, Thanks But doesn't Really help as I have New Pc and dont want to
download Hundreds of Messages again to have Duplicates and have to spend
hours deleting unwanted ones. I was hoping the info wouldbe in a file
somewhere so I could transfer it to the new Pc, Like the .pst, .nk2, .dat etc.

How does Outlook know it has downloaded messages so as not to download
again?

Outlook and the mail server cooperate to assign a value called a UIDL to
each message. Outlook remembers the UIDLs of messages it has downloaded.
If it sees a message with the same UIDL, it does not download it again.

Where does it store this info?

That's a good question and I've never seen a definitive answer and it
probably varies depending on the Outlook version. I suspect it's in the
registry for current Outlooks.
