Leave messages on POP3 Server

[sce123]

I use a POP3 server (yahoo) with Outlook 2007. I have 4 email addresses, 1
is a att.net, the other 3 use my domain name. I want to "leave messages on
the server". In the advanced tab I check the "Leave message on server", but
I have to do this for all 4 addresses otherwise no message gets left on POP3
server. I then get 4 identical messages received in Outlook.
If I check the box "Leave message on server" for 1, 2 or 3 addresses,
nothing gets left on server.

You only have 1 mailbox with 4 email addresses then?
In that case disable the option for receiving the emails for the other 3
configured addresses.
You can do this via;
Tools-> Options-> button Mail Setup-> button Send/Receive-> button Edit...

Then you are using 4 accounts defined within Outlook to poll the SAME
mailbox. Yahoo allows aliases to an account. Those all point to the SAME
mailbox.

SAME
mailbox.

Yahoo also allows something called "sub-accounts", which are mai
addresses that get created from a primary account. You get 1
sub-accounts for each paid main account. What's nice about th
sub-accounts is that they're separate Yahoo mailboxes. I use them
