Since I have deleted all messages on the server and started anew,
everything works fine, my feeling is that there was some corrupted
message there that was causing the problem
The problem I am facing now is to reimport my messages from the old
computer where they are in Outlook Express format which is somehow not
compatible with Outlook

You'll need to transfer those messages to OE (or WIndows Mail) on the new PC
and then transfer them to Outlook from there.

Hi Brian - I have a similar problem as above. I have just had to have a new hard drive installed on my desk top so the shop that did it backed up all the Office Outlook 2003 files (pst folders). When I went to pick up the puter they had put on 2000 so I gave them my disc and told them to install it. I then put on my husbands profile and my profile and added the files under each profile.

On start-up his profile did a send receive and he got only new emails
however when I switched to my profile it would not do a send receive
atomatically. When I clicked on it it proceeded to download all the same
emails it had already downloaded the previous day (over 1000). My laptop
profile is working fine with just new emails being downloaded from the server.

ISP is BT Broadband, I have 4 email addresses with them which are all
duplicating, 1 yahoo address which is duplicating. Hotmail is NOT
duplicating. I have taken the puter back to the shop and despite uninstalling
the program they are getting the same problem repeatedly. I need the desktop
back urgently - please can you help!
