I answered this on the talks list but what I want to say is that I use POP3 and
never get duplicates at all. Now I presume you are aware that if you have
e-mail sitting on your phone and have not deleted them, when you open your
Outlook Express these e-mails get downloaded from the Server and when you
reconnect with your phone they disappear. Took me a day or two to work that
one out!

Subject: [access-uk] IMAP AND/OR POP3
Hi all,
Having decided to take some email on my phone, I am wanting to understand
more about the differences I will experience if I decide to use IMAP as opposed
to POP3 for my NTL and Googlemail accounts.
I understand, basically, that it's reckoned that IMAP is more stable (not
giving extra copies of mail where this sometimes occurs with POP3), but I need
to know more specifically how this will affect my day to day working. I don't
use Google online but still much prefer to download to Outlook Express. In the
case of POP3, everything comes into my In-box unless I specify to the contrary.
Will this be the same with my Outlook Express if using IMAP?
Do I need to set my phone and computer(s) all to use IMAP to get everything
working correctly?
Thanks for anything that you can offer on this.
