Outlook 2003 - 7 e-mail addresses, but checks 4 times

Hi,

I check 7 e-mail addresses using Outlook 2003, but everytime I open Outlook to check for e-mail, it checks each address 4 times. I only want them checked once. Good old Microsoft software!!

Does anyone know what's happening and how to sort it.

Indeed, does anybody have better e-mail clents that they'd recommend.
I've been told about Mozilla Thunderbird. Any good?


Thanks.
 
If you use Firefox then Thunderbird is best, if you use something else for Internet, well switch to Firefox and Thunderbird !!!

My biggest problem with outlook was it regularly corrupted the back-ups; I lost a lot of data last time; if you are only using it for email etc, it is also over complex and resource hungry.

I wouldn't be too quick to blame Outlook, yes you have a problem but it is more likely to down to something else.

It is most likely due to the amount of data that is being downloaded.

Do you have it set up to check your email every so often for example every 5 minutes?

Also are all of these email addresses isp related or do you run your own domain name with email services?
 
I have my own domain with individual password protected e-mail mailboxes.

I just don't understand why it check each mailbox 4 times; it does check automatically, but it's always 4 times. It's a real pain.

Hence my reason for asking here if anyone knew what the problem was, and even if they knew a solution, other than using another e-mail client.

It's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to sort it.

I use Incredimail and this also contains a method of 'bouncing' unwanted emails back to the sender as though your email address is unrecognised. It has many other features but most of these are in the 'paid' version. I thoroughly recommend it.
