Receiving multiple copies of some emails

Using Outlook 2016, Windows 10. In the last few days, I've started getting multiple copies of the same email. Not all emails, but most. Some, just two or three. Others, up to a dozen of the same email. I've got four accounts at two different servers (RoadRunner and GoDaddy) ... and it's happening to all four, which is why I think it's an Outlook problem.

Additional clue: Some of the emails I'm getting multiple copies of are from last month ... stuff that had been deleted many days ago.

First instinct is to look at my settings (both POP accounts), to see if things are set up correctly. But that makes no sense — up until two or three days ago, everything was working exactly the way it should. I haven't made any system changes, haven't installed new software ... can't think of anything that would've made this just start happening.

Any way to make this stop that doesn't require a hammer?

Thanks, anybody.......

I am having exact same issue. Windows 10, Outlook 16, GoDaddy email account. It's so strange that it happens to some emails but not all; maybe 40% of mine.

I don't want to change it to IMAP from POP3, or have copies removed from the server. That's bogus!

No other known solution????

If you prefer not to disable " leave a copy on the server " suggestion, then I would suggest that you ask the question at Microsoft Community , Office forum where the forum is exclusively dedicated to Office Outlook 2016...............
