I'm not sure about the multiple accounts as I only have one POP3 account and
an Exchange account and it happens whether I'm connected to Exchange or not.

However, I do believe it has to do with rules moving messages to another
PST.... which I thought was a problem squashed years and years ago. It's not
like the messages are moving to the moon.... the PST is right there in the
profile. And it's not like the Server "hanging up" the download should
prevent Outlook from saving ID's of messages it has ALREADY downloaded.

Yeah, that would be annoying. While Microsoft has addressed with Office
2003 SP2 some of the issues with Outlook's POP engine downloading the same
message multiple times, I don't think they've addresses them all and I
think some of them (i.e., it's just an opinion with little data to support
it) are the result of timing issues from accessing multiple accounts
simultaneously during send/receive cycles. My understanding is that
Outlook uses multiple threads when there are multiple accounts. I though
I read an article to that effect.
