I keep receiving the same emails

[Sarah_Waller]

Version: 2008 Email Client: pop Every few days I re- receive all the emails that i have received over the last few months. Today that was 2500 emails coming into my in box and junk box. I sit here for hours deleted them all, only for them to re appear a few days later. This has only started happening over the last few months, prior to that i have not had a problem. I am not very computer literat so if you are able to help me I would appreciate a step by step guide.

I look forward to hearing from someone.

It's most likely a problem with your server that is causing Entourage to
download the messages over. You can solve this by not misusing the "leave on
server" option under the advanced tab of your POP account.

POP mail is meant to be download then deleted from the server. Most servers
have limits and you should not leave large amounts of old mail on the server
and fill up your account. If you want to leave mail on the server then
switch to an IMAP account.

Read this page to understand the difference.
