More detail will be needed then...

You mean Outlook re-downloads the same message over and over and
Thunderbird doesn't? What version of Outlook? Is it possibl;e you've
encountered the notorious 2GB PST file bug?

I could say "don't use Outlook unless your in an Exchange environment
(its a crappy standalone email client, but yeah its Calendar is pretty
nice)", but I won't... ;)

The suggestion to not use a crappy antivirus that has a crappy POP proxy
is not a non-solution. I stopped recommending AVG when it went crappy
back at about version 7.5...

Regardless, inline mail scanning (ie, using any AV's 'proxy' scanner) is
pretty much useless and all too often very problematic.

Just use a good AV and let its on-demand scanning do the job.

I always recommend Security Essentials (free) or NOD32 (paid) for AV...
