Messages downloaded multiple times

[px03afk]

Problem has come back again, first time it's happened in a long time. However this time it's really bad on just one machine, I think this is about the tenth time it's downloaded some messages. It really would be helpful if something could be done about this.

I am currently using the 32 bit version of 1.5.0 and have been doing so for some time.

Hi px03afk!

I have read again all our discussion. You have described your findings in the client.log file very clear. To me, it seems there to lie the gist of the matter. So I have written an e-mail to Michel Krämer, the program author of Spamihilator, to ask him for help. Could you once again give more details about how your three machines work? (Day and night, all five minutes, 1000 mails a day, the three machines in three towns in the world, which one marks the mails as received ...?)

Kind regards,
Chactory

It therefore looks as though the failure to retrieve messages has upset the list of those which have already been processed, resulting in them being downloaded again as they presumably are no longer present in the list of those already downloaded.

This actually looks like it could be the reason for this issue. I will check this and return to you for sure.

Cheers,
Michel

I was wondering if there has been anything done about this problem. It has hit us very hard in the last few days due to a problem with the our internet connection going up and down. If Spami is trying to read data in when the connection goes down it can sometimes fail to time-out and we have to manually tell it to stop and then we it starts again it downloads all the data on the server. However because the link becomes unstable for a period of time the download can get interrupted multiple times and you can sometimes get up to 10 or more copies of the messages before things stabilise. It would be very helpful to get this problem fixed.

I'm still hoping that somebody will look at this problem as it happens again and again and it is very annoying.

I think it is a very intelligent idea to check this question.

The only issue is you are using a redirect service, which is again-and-again executing. If the link is a download one, it will start the download again and again.

Has there been any progress on fixing this - it still happens from time to time. The redirector is a red herring. By the time Outlook is downloading the data is all on the hosting server and it matters not how it gets there. There is only one version of the message on the hosting server.
