I know this topic has come up in the past so here is a possible fix.
Duplicate Email downloading
Document ID: 1598HQ
Issue:
Every time a user checks mail with Eudora, multiple copies of the same
message are downloaded.
OR
A similar error message would be: "There has been an error transferring
your mail. I said: DELE 3 and then the POP server said: ERR no such msg"
Solution:
This could be due to multiple personalities checking the same POP account,
or it could be caused by a corrupted Leave Mail On Server file.
To check for multiple Personalities that access the same POP account, click
on the Tools menu, Personalities. In the Personalities window, right click on
a personality and select Properties and check the "login name" on the
Generic Properties tab and also server on the "Incoming mail" tab. If two
personalities
have the exact same settings, don't check mail with both of them. You can
remove personalities if you don't really need multiple personalities for the
same account. If you meant to have multiple personalities for the same
account (for sending with various aliases or alternate return addresses),
then go
to the Generic Properties and uncheck "check mail" for all but one of the
Personalities which accesses the same POP account.
If you do not have multiple personalities checking the same account, close
out of Eudora and delete the LMOS.DAT file. This file is located in the Spool
directory, it's purpose is to keep a list of all the messages that you have
downloaded from the server in the past. It will be recreated the next time
you check for mail.
NOTE: If you are leaving mail on the server, Eudora will download ALL the
mail which is available on the POP server during the first mail check after
deleting
the LMOS file.
Also, you may want to double check the messages to be sure they are
actually duplicate copies. If the Message-ID header is different for your
message copies,
then they are actually different messages - this implies that the message
was sent to you multiple times. To look at the Message-ID header you can open
the message in full view then click on the "Blah, Blah, Blah" button in the
upper left hand corner of the message window.
