I am getting duplicate, triplicate and so on Emails with my Windows
Live.

It chokes my Email box and then slowly multiplies all the Emails I
receive.

I have to constantly delete these Emails.

Can anyone help here????

Thank You Bruno

offered solution:::

Is this a POP3 account? In Options | Accounts | Mail Account |
Properties
| Advanced Tab, uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server.

Also, if it is checking for messages, let's say every 5 minutes, and
the
messages don't finish downloading in 5 minutes, they will start over
from
the beginning, so the minutes may need to be raised temporarily.

Ben talking::

I have, but don't use Window Live Mail, and I don't know a lot about
it. It sounds like your mail client is set to leave copies on your
provider's server. That would cause them to be downloaded each time
you checked mail.

Try the above suggestion. It worked for the guy making the complaint.
If it works, I will go celebrate over a quadruple Tanqueray Martini!.
If it doesn't, I will just make it a double.

Cal is a software guy and may have some ideas.

What Ben recommends sounds right. Mail servers is not my expertise ;)

Thank You Ben. It partly worked and I am keeping an eye on.
Much appreciated and worthy of that quadruple Tanqueray which I will
gladly buy when our paths meet
in the near future.

Who knows we can even invite passionate Ellen who maybe with a couple
of drinks down her belt
will most probably turn out to be a good sport.
Patty can stand in the corner with his arms out ooozing love to all of
us and the Baroness cuckoo Nordstrup
can stand outside the door vetting Tex to make sure he brings all his
double blind Harvard trial documentation on the success
of Est? Landmark from the last 30 years.

If the baroness is still not satisfied with the evidence, she gets the
booby prize and waits for Sinead whilst Tex comes in to join us.

The baroness then also waits for Rick Ross and escorts him to
introduce him to us whilst Patty with his arms out open sends love to
Tex
in the corner who is screaming out at the top of his voice "You are
a convicted felon and scam artist. Fraud!!!!! "

What a party, Caligari can do the filming and record the encounter on
tape.

Thanks for your help Ben
Cheers Bruno
