Today, Entourage started receiving all mail previously delivered to my POP
account. Messages are being sent again and again to my inbox. What is going on
????

Usually this is server error. Use one of the remove duplicates scripts:

To get rid of duplicates use one of the scripts to remove duplicates.

Remove Duplicate Messages Author: Jolly Roger

This script uses a thorough method of examining message
headers that guarantees it won't mistakenly mark two messages that
happen to have the same subject as duplicates.

While others may be faster, it's mostly because they examine fewer
properties of messages (only the subject in most cases) to determine if
they are considered duplicates. This means if you happen to have
multiple messages with the same subject that actually have different
content, they will be deleted by these faster scripts.

For instance let's say you happen to send weekly status reports to your
boss with the subject "Weekly Status". Would you want all but one of
them to be deleted? Nope. My script won't delete such messages, while
other scripts might! If you decide to use other "remove duplicates"
scripts because they are faster, proceed with caution.
