I am using Outlook 2003 running under Win XP.
After being offline for a while (like today, while travelling), I arrive at
a destination and re-connect to the net to receive email.
Usually, such reconnections are via dial up.
And frequently, the email download is 500-1000 messages.
Here is the problem . . .
After running for 30-60 minutes downloading "most" of the messages
(including several "large" ones of 1-2 MB, the data line drops. My computer
then gently reconnects and the download begins again . . . redownloading
duplicates of messages already downloaded.
When I have frequent disconnects, the process runs time after time, not
completing, redownloading duplicate after duplicate, each time working with
a larger and larger POP file as more and more emails arrive, until FINALLY,
it runs to completion and Outlook deletes the emails from the server.
Is there something I can do to tell Outlook to "checkpoint"? That is, to
stop and delete the messages it has successfully received, so that such
restarts don't have to completely redo the work?
