Re: Email OE downloads again and again

Ive checked the account propery settings in OE the advanced box has the "leave a copy on server" box unticked. AS the server is checked every 15 minutes or so , it downloads the whole lot again, even if I've deleted them. I've closed OE, I've even rebooted. Its becoming a pain 'cos the account is full of spam.

Yes I do have a firewall and current antivirus. Iv'e also downloaded all Micorsoft patches that the puter prompts me to do.

Any ideas?
I've had this problem with PCCILLIN antivirus, but I usually have the leave copy on server ticked but delete when deleted ticked. When OE thinks the settings have changed it downloads all again. I had to switch off email scanning and manually remove localhost etc from the email accounts, and haven't had the problem since - or used mail AV scanning!
