Duplicate Outlook messages

Hello.  This is driving me nuts.  I'm using WinXP with Outlook 2002 on a stand alone machine.  Most, but not all of the time I get duplicate messages.  Each is identical to the other.  Any ideas?  This started several months ago for no apparent reason.

Hi poinzpalm,

WHat are the methods you have done to prevent it?

Is this pop3 or imap or exchange account set up  in outlook ?

have you removed the account , backedup all the emails , deleted all the emails and then created the account ?

Hello sunray.  The only thiing I have been able to confirm is that my ISP inbox contains one message but when Outlook downloads there is suddenly two messages exactly the same.  This is a standard pop3 account, no exchange.  I have not tried the remove / backup / delete route as I was hoping there was somethnig easy I was overlooking.  Thanks for the response.
poinzpalm,

do you know when this started..

simple recreation of the account might solve it ..

It also should not matter whether in that account properties you have put "leave a copy of the message in server" or not..
