Same email keeps appearing in inbox

[mcgrate]

In Outlook Express, Every time i do a send receive, whether manually or automatically (timed), the same messages with same content and timestamp goes into my inbox. The email is auto-generated.
I am using POP. A copy is also being sent to a seperate email address which uses IMAP and doesnt seem to be having a problem.

All other emails are being recieved fine - but for some reason - this one email just keeps appearing!

Any clues?

I have no idea why this might be happening, but if you have webmail access to this account, try logging in and see if the message is there. If it is, delete it. That should fix the problem. (Well, it won't actually FIX the problem, because we don't know what the root problem really is, but this should at least eliminate the symptoms of the problem! ;) )

IMAP will do that sometimes if it does not get the message to "purge". In IMAP you need to "delete" the message then "purge" it. If you are using POP commands there is the possibility that it is not being purged.
