    i use outlook express to manage my hotmail account. often messages appear twice in my outlook express inbox. clicking send/rcv sometimes removes the duplicate messages; sometimes it doesn't. closing without reading, waiting a while then reopening sometimes removes the duplicates; sometimes it doesn't.

    it's not a major problem, just a minor irritant...but i'd like any one message to only appear once in my inbox.

    thanks.

    Why am I still getting duplicates of POP messages in my Inbox?

    If you chose to leave POP e-mail on the server when you set up your POP account, and you also chose to download all messages to Hotmail, all messages in your POP account are copied into your Hotmail account every time you check for POP e-mail. To stop seeing the same POP messages repeatedly, follow these steps:

    On the Options page, click POP Mail Retrieval Settings under Additional Options.
    Select the Download new messages only check box for each POP account you have, and then click OK.

    options page? do you mean tools>options in oe? if so, there is no 'additional options'. i'm a little bewildered.

    thanks.

    uh, okay. there's no 'additional options' tab or selection on the 'options' page of my hotmail web account. nor is there anything remotely similar to 'POP mail retrieval settings'.

    thanks.

    twlvbar--Thanks for posting back. Always nice to hear that a suggestion helped.
    Which particular fix was it?

    tools>options>uncheck 'send and receive messages at startup'. it was in the first link, i believe.

    twlvbar--Thanks. I think that is a problem with Hotmail. It keeps downloding the same messages unless they are deleted from the server.
