Recover deleted mail in Entourage or Mail
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Apr 18, '08 09:55:04PM

Any email app will download email that has been deleted from another email app, as long as the email app in which you deleted the email, doesn't have its option active for deleting email from the server after the user has read it or downloaded it, because each email app maintains its own database of which email it has downloaded from the server. Email stays on the server until the time you specify in your email app (never, or one day or longer).

Which reminds me of an only partially related issue: if an email app is displaying multiple copies of emails, it's usually because the database I refer to above, has become damaged, or the email app (usually Entourage) doesn't always know how to keep it up to date.
