James S. Huggins here again. I've been experimenting. I'm connected right now in California via WIFI to a router connected to a cable modem. That connection seems to be somewhat "flakey" and I've "lost" my email download on a couple of occasions requiring restart. (My fault, you understand . . . way to many emails) Anyway, what I've tried is after downloading 4 or 500 of the emails, I click to "cancel send/receive". When Outlook restarts, it either has no overlap or only 3 or 4 emails overlap. It seems to be a "manual" way of forcing a "checkpoint". James S.
