Re: Problems with duplicate messages

Every message is *exactly* the same, not even one byte different?  I've 
never seen that before.  Are all messages in user's inbox - or other 
folders?  Does user have any filters that say *copy* message - which would 
*create* duplicates.  I *think* if server sends more than once there 
*should* be a record of it, but I've never even *seen* an Exchange server, 
never mind know anything about what it might do.

Here's what I would do next...  Send another message that you think will be 
duplicated, check the users mailbox on server *before* they download the 
message to their own machine.  Then have user check for messages and see 
*when* message is duplicated.
