Hi Re-Na
Try this
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
Same mail messages continue to be downloaded from POP3 account
If your POP3 mail account is configured to "leave a copy of messages on
the server" under Tools | Accounts | <account> | Properties | Advanced,
it sometimes happens that OE downloads the same messages each time you
send and receive. This is caused by a damaged "Pop3uidl.dbx" file in
your Identity's store folder. This file keeps track of which messages on
the server have already been downloaded and should therefore be skipped
on subsequent downloads. To fix the problem, simply delete the
"Pop3uidl.dbx" file. The next time you check for mail, all the messages
on the server will be downloaded again, but a new "Pop3uidl.dbx" will be
created that should work properly on subsequent mail checks.
If you are seeing duplicate messages on a Hotmail or IMAP account, this
solution will not work because those types of accounts do not use the
"Pop3uidl.dbx" file. However there is a simple solution for both Hotmail
and IMAP.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
