From: Mike on 12 Feb 2010 02:35 Outlook 2003, SP3 Outlook Connector 12064231000 POP account @gmail.com Since a few days ago my outlook inbox is showing multiple copies of the same emails; sometimes up to 20 copies of one message! The are flagged as not downloaded. If I mark eg. 10 copies of 1 message to download and perform Process marked headers, Outlook reports "receiving error 0x8004210C Some messages you marked for download are no longer available on the server". I suspect only one copy of the 10 is the real one, the other 9 are phantoms. BUT WHICH ONE??? I can manually mark each one-by-one (often the first of a group) to download and process marked headers but this is laborious and trial-and-error. Please advise... Michael.

For which account are you doing this for? The Outlook Connector works only with Live Mail accounts, so the Google Mail account is completely separate. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: Mike on 12 Feb 2010 12:02 Thanks Brian. I said the Google (@gmail) account. I didn't know if outlook connector took dominion over and hijacked all account types or not. > For which account are you doing this for?

If this were to happen to me, I'd delete the account and add it in again. Do you leave messages on the server? I'd also consider switching to IMAP for gmail instead of POP. There seems to be a mismatch in the information Outlook holds about the messages and that Google holds. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Thanks again Brian. But even if I did one or both of your suggestions, how do I delete the now 100's of duplicate inbox message headers in a limbo/phantom/stuck state ??
