I leave my email on the server so I can view it from another computer when I
am away. Sometimes when I have not cleared it all off the server it will all
come down to my home computer a second time a day or two later. This is a
pain because I have already read and filtered the mail prior to this
happening. I have thought that it was being caused by my ISP resetting their
mail server and causing this but they say no? Further explanation is, I read
my email and delete it from my home machine, but leave it on the server. I go
away for a couple of days and when I get back the email that I have already
read comes back down with the new email sometimes, not all the time though.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the location
in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the
location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

With OE closed, delete the Pop3uidl.dbx file. The messages will download
once more, but that should be it.
