does anyone know how to stop the double messages I receive. Everytime I get
an email I get it twice
 
In Windows Mail go to Tools, Accounts. Make sure there isn't a duplicate
account.

Is it an IMAP or a POP3 account?

If you don't quote the message you're replying to, many of the frequent
responders in this newsgroup will have trouble finding it, and are
therefore unlikely to send a useful answer.

Getting two copies of email is often due to either you or the sender
having duplicate mail accounts entered under their email program;
if you have such a duplicate account, just remove one of these
accounts.
 
Just saying "Having the same problem" doesn't really cut it.
Most of the responders here read this newsgroup with a news
reader that makes accessing older posts time-consuming.
Each post should stand on its own.

If you are sure that you did not inadvertently create a duplicate
of that one POP account, then the next most likely cause is a
non-compatible antivirus. Which antivirus are you running?

I also get two emails for every one that is sent to me. It started when I
called blackberry since I wasn't getting all of my email. THey had me change
something and it left the mail on the server long enough for blackberry to
pick it up. Then I started getting "twofers'. I tried Gary V's suggestion,
but I have only 1 acct which is a pop3. I am running vista and this is really
getting frustrating. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate
it. I should say I am not very technological so you might need to break it
down...thanks.

I too am having the problem with double email. I am using McAffee and if I
turn off email scannng, I continually get a message that says I am not fully
protected. This double email just started.
 
Go to Tools, Accounts, and make sure you don't have a duplicate account.
If there is only one mail account, delete it since it may be corrupted, restart
Windows Mail, then recreate the account.

If the problem continues, do a trial uninstall of McAfee. If that cures the
problem, install a more compatible antivirus, like the free one from
Microsoft:
