Way to stop receiving continuous duplicate emails in Outlook 2007?

by jfuller05 . Updated 13 years, 1 month ago

I have a very interesting situation.
First off:
-Windows XP SP2
-Outlook 2007/POP3/Integrated with Bellsouth webmail

The user is receiving multiple upon multiple duplicate emails from two or three different senders (not spam either). Once the emails are deleted, the user keeps receiving the same emails. Outlook is stuck in an infinite loop. The receive process cannot end because once Outlook starts to receive the third email,it freezes and then the “Send Error Report” window pop ups, closes, and then Outlook starts, and the process starts again.

I checked for AV synchronization-there is none

User does not have the option checked to leave a copy of msg on the server

the incoming/outgoing server options are correct

outlook is not synchronized with a pda

there is nothing wrong with the firewall

there aren’t any arbitrary rules checked

I ran Outlook in safe mode and the process still happens

I don’t know what else to check. Like I stated, I believe Outlook is stuck in an infinite message loop. I watched the receiving details and once it starts to receiving msg 3 of 14, it hangs,then the “Send Error Report” from Microsoft pops up, like Outlook is trying to receive a msg that it can’t.

I’m puzzled and don’t know what else to check and/or do.

Suggestions?
