Question : Outlook 2003 pop account is downloading duplicate emails.

I have a user who logged onto his workstation this morning and his outlook email client is downloading all of his existing emails and creating duplicates (over 12,000 total messages). He's an existing user, using the same workstation he always uses, it's not a new setup. He does keep his mail on the server so he can check it from different locations. This problem just started can anybody help.
