Which messages to download, which to leave on server, and which to delete from server, is under control of the mail client. It issues RETR and DELE commands and the mailserver does as told. If you are saying that messages before and after have been downloaded and do not get downloaded again, but this one gets downloaded repeatedly, then Outlook is confused thinking this message is new. Maybe it using UIDL and the ID is corrupted. If it is a one-time rather than recurring problem, why not just delete the offending message from the mailspool and be done with it?
