Multiple copies of emails being downloaded --Why??

I've just downloaded WLM and set it up. I have two main email accounts.
Even though I've imported my old emails I am still getting all the emails
downloaded from the servers. AND, I'm now getting 3 and 4 copies of all the
emails. As I am restricted on my download capacity this is very aggravating.
I want to keep copies of emails on the servers as I have several
devices/computers where I check email.

Is there a way to fix this? How do I get WLM to only download 'New' emails
and not ones it's already downloaded or emails from 2007? Thanks for your
help.

Eric

Have you interrupted the WLM process of downloading mails ?
e.g. closed WLM and interrupted its ability to build its index
- doing so is indicated of duplicates


On a new install WLM performs two primary operations.
1. Migrate messages from your prior email client if WLM is installed on the same machine as the prior email client(e.g. XP/OE or
Vista/Windows Mail)
2. One time download of all messages available on the server(in all folders)

Yes, I have interrupted it. That must be what's going on. Is there any way
to bypass that process? I don't need all the old stuff downloaded again.

NO, just go ahead and let it download everything. Then just delete what you
don't want.

From WLM, no...
The only option would be if the messages didn't reside on the server and that, in your case, is not an option...

Interrupting the process can have other negative effects...especially since WLM will continue to try to complete the task..the
index constantly being rebuilt with repetitive and duplicate values, possibly corruption(from interruption, isp timeout, AV
interference[each download message is written as a separate file on your machine] etc..
