Try creating a new mail profile under control panel-mail
icon-profiles-new. Configure it to use your existing .pst file.

running repair didn't help. I'll create an new profile. but it is an ost
file since I'm connected to an exchange server. as well as a pop server.

creating new profile didn't help.

what looks like the problem might be related to the email being redownloaded
from the server. that is email is left on server for 10 days or until
deleted. what appears to be happening is that outlook is redownloading the
same email, but instead of creating dublicates like I have seen on occation
in the past, it is just replacing the old email with the same email only
marked with a newer date and time, and marking as unread.

thanks

jon
