Outlook and OE both can have this issue if a second POP3 thread is started before the first one is done (yes, they forgot to code it to ignore this cycle if it is already downloading from that account). Usually an issue when someone thinks they need to check messages ever one or two minutes to see if they have new messages. It is generally recommended to have no less than 5 or 10 minutes between automated checks depending on the volume of mail left in the mailbox (the programs are slow at reconciling, especially over dial links). Been there done that many times with my customers, and on different mail servers. Apparently, if it overlaps itself, it garbages its local UID cache and re-downloads messages just to be safe.
