>> I felt that perhaps search was slow so i went to the Modify button in the

>> Outlook 2007 accounts in the search locations (ie: 2 instances of
>> xxx@hotmail.com and 2 instances of xxx@gmail.com, Personal Folders,
>> etc...)
>> and all of them are selected by checkboxes. i dont know which one is the
>> original or the duplicate, so i tried to go to Advanced Options and tried
