When I click Send/Recv, it looks as if Outlook checks the same account
twice. What could be the reason? As far as I know I did not add the same
account twice (if that would be possible at all). It is not a big problem,
but it seems a loss of time.

How many accounts do you have defined in your Send/Receive group? If more
than one, do any two or more of them use the same username/password to
connect to their servers?

I have two accounts with each a different username & password. When I click
send/receive only the default account is checked; for the other one I have
to 'ask' specifically.

What did you see in the Send/Receive group when you looked? When you say it
"checks the same account twice", what makes you believe that?

Well, I click Send/Rec, then this window opens telling you what Outlook is
doing. E.g., if you check two accounts it says receiving mail on (account
x), receiving on y, sending onx, sending y. It ends by saying 'The
requested tasks were completed successfully.,'

Now what I see on my work computer, and not at home, is that it goes twice
through the routine.
Thanks

Thanks for that answer. How about the answer to the other question?
