Hi, Be greatful for any help. I recently had to rebuild my laptop and restore outlook. I did this by coping all my old pst files back over, this worked fine. Unfortunalty through my lack of knowledge I do not know how to restore my old email accounts so decided to re-create them. The problem I am having is that when I now run send and recieve, it is downloading my emails from my pop3 server and doubling up on all the emails I have just restored? How do I stop this happening. Many thanks.
