using Outlook 2003 - POP'ing from ISP

I have outlook set to wait 5 days before deleting emails on POP server.

Every time I start Outlook, it downloads ALL the emails - even the the
previously downloaded emails.

Is there a way to set Outlook NOT to download previously download email
message?

thanks

do you have the latest patches installed? how often are the send/receives?
is outlook closing completely (look in task manager for outlook.exe)

Do you run AV that scans incoming email? If yes, turn it off. It is
redundant and causes the kinds of problems you are experiencing.
