Hi.
I was getting double emails, because I had checked off a box to leave a copy
on the server, so that if I ever needed to get my email by going to the
site..they would be there, too, but if you can get outlook express to work,
try this...if there is a better solution, I would like to hear it, but I did
this to stop the double emails.
open outlook express
click on tools
click on accounts
click on the server name you use for your email that are double to highlight
it
click on properties
click on advanced
Is "leave a copy on the server" checked?
uncheck it.
If this doesn't work, I apologize. It did for me.
There may be another way.
If all else fails, you can go back and check it if it doesn't work.
Hope it helps.
I still am trying to figure out why outlook express works when I shut off
windows live one care's firewall, but does not work when the firewall is
on..and outlook express is on my "allow" list.
Oh well, I have to go to
the site to check my mail.
Thanks
Mare

right on target. now I can say, I have learned something today.

AV set to scan incoming mail "interrupts" the handshake between Outlook and
your mail server so that complete information about what has been downloaded
and what remains to be downloaded is incomplete. If Outlook checks its
markers for what is downloaded and does not see the "completed download"
marker for an email, it grabs it again. (Layman explanation here) Turning
off AV allows for the handshake to complete.

| | If you have an Anti-Virus set to scan incoming and outgoing mail,
| turn it off. It is redundant, a sales tool to scare uninformed users
| into buying something they don't need and a general nuisance. You
| are already protected by your real time on access scanner so scanning
| incoming mail is useless. If you think that scanning outgoing mail
| for viruses is a good idea, you are about 3 steps too late. You
| can't send what you don't have.
