Email keeps downloading - after being deleted

I have a Droid X, running 2.3.

My personal email is setup using the standard email application on the Droid X.

I have a POP3 account with my ISP Comcast. I leave the original messages on the comcast server, as backup, and because I also download them to my home PC MS Outlook application.

The intermittent problem I have is, I will delete email on my Droid, and they will come back to the phone, like I never received them before. The frustrating part is it is only intermittent. My Droid is set for Data Push.

I don't have this problem with my MS Outlook, and I never had the problem with my Blackberry.

Is there a setting I am missing? I have tried to look through all that are possible.

Is there another POP3 email app to recommend?

Thanks for the anticipated help.

It appears that the Droid sees a particular E-mail coming from your Comcast server and sees another E-mail coming from your Outlook. Droid may be a smartphone, yet it can not see that these two E-mails are the exact same. You might try turning of the synchronization between the Droid and your Outlook. I get the same thing with a different scenario. I have Hotmail and Roadrunner. So, I get the very same E-mail in Hotmail and Roadrunner and Gmail. Triplicates! I just delete the excess baggage. But, as I said previously, I would just turn of the synchronization between Droid and Outlook. That might solve your duplication problem.

Sorry for the confusion. The problem is only between my Droid and my Comcast server. I leave messages on my server, but delete them on my Droid, and then the Droid downloads the messages again from the server, like it is new.
