I am running Windows XP Pro with Outlook Express 6 and my computer is set up
with three accounts. My wife is having a problem with her email. When goes
to her account and opens Outlook Express it begins to download multiple
duplicate copies of email from the server. There is generated six copies of
each email message she receives. So if she received 10 email messages,
she's is inundated with 60 copies of email. I have searched through the
"Options" have found no settings to account for the problem. The other two
accounts for myself and my son experience no such problem with multiple
emails. I search of the MS Knowledge base found no applicable information.
Any help with this problem is appreciated.

Regards,
Bill

Is your wife automatically scanning incoming mail for viruses?
Turn it off.

Also, try creating a new Identity.
If it works, then import the mail from the old Identity.

I assumed that the three accounts are three user accounts.
You also have three email accounts.

Thanks for your help. I found two copies of "Pop3uidl.dbx" and deleted them
both. I Opened up my wife's account and went to Outlook Express. To my
delight, it began downloading current emails and only one copy of each. I
then sent some test emails and still only one copy of each was received. It
appears that the corrupted dbx file was the problem. Again thank you.

Regards,
Bill
