    I've just downloaded Outlook 2007 and imported my files and addresses from Outlook Express6.... (I have not removed O/Express I want to see how I get on with O/2007). I transfered over 500 messages to my Inbox and spent ages reading and deleting them all yesterday. My Inbox showed "empty" when I shut down. Today, they were all there in my Inbox again, as well new messages received overnight.

    Anyone any idea what's happening here and what I can do. Thank you. :confused::confused:

    Having not received any suggestions.... I tried "repair" from the Office Standard 2007.. still the message kept reappearing in my inbox after deleting. I then went the whole hog and removed OS 2007 completely. I re-installed and was surprise that all my contacts and messages (that I previously transferred from Outlook Express) where still there and nearly 1000 messages started downloading to my Inbox again. This really has me baffled

    Try this:

    Outlook 2007 – Tools – Account Settings – email – Open your mail account (dbl click it) – more settings – Advanced – and finally - - uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server.


    edit
    If that doesn’t work one other thing to look at.

    Outlook 2007 – keyboard shortcut time (Ctrl-Alt –S) – open your accounts group- and check: is download complete item incl attachments checked?
