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.
