Although it's used by many corporations, Outlook has a rather outdated and clunky way of storing your email. It's used the same .pst database system for years and can take a lot of system resources when downloading, processing and storing your email (although this does seem to have improved with Outlook 2007). It's too easy to get frustrated, cancel the downloading email or even attempt to close Outlook. Either way, you'll then have to re-download the same emails again in the future and may be left with duplicates on your system.

Outlook Duplicate Items Remover is a free tool that you can use to search through your Outlook email folder and check for duplicate emails. Any duplicates are then moved to a separate folder where you can simply erase from your database.
