When opening Windows mail today, I have been getting duplicate emails. How
do I fix this?

Tools | Accounts. Is this account listed twice per chance? If not, turn
off e-mail scanning.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.
 
The multiple copies come in at the same time, or do you get an additional copy
each time there is a download from the mail server?

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
 
I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your only email
address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no
POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay them for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

You can also use Yahoo's webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com .
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
 
They were multiple copies at the same time. But I have closed down the
Windows mail and computer several times after this has happen and doesn't
seem to do it any more. Maybe a one time glitch?
