I hope someone can give you a answer Jan. This happens with different e-mails here but it seems to be the problem of the servers not with Outlook or at least that is what I have been told by my Server Cox.net and a cable hook up? Hope you get a good answer as I will be watching. Gene Hello All, I have been lurking at this list for the last few months. You are all very helpful and I've learned some nifty new things about Office programs. The humor and diversions make learning fun! Question: I receive 2-4 copies of every email message. How do I eliminate the duplications? Windows 98SE, Office xp Professional, ISP Mindspring, Cable connection. I have Outlook set up with several email addresses (aliases). Leave my messages on the server for 7 days so I can receive them on my laptop which I do once a week. I use Mindspring for all of my email. I have the cable connection for high speed (HA!) Internet access but do not use their email service. If I am not dialed into Mindspring but have Outlook open I still receive my email but cannot send out via Comcast as not configured to do so, nor do I want to. Any clues for me?
