Cristy My guess is that you have OE set to leave the mail on the server. When you download the mail, it stays on the server. The server has no way of knowing that you have read and deleted the mail. Then when you download again OE gets that mail too, because it gets all mail sitting on the server. You need to change the setting in OE. I do not remember how to do this as I have not used OE in a while.
