I have a hotmail account and i check my messages through OUTLOOK EXPRESS and
when i check my messages my messages double up and when i say DOUBLE UP i
mean if someone were to send me a email i would get TWO? I have had previous
responses telling me to go to my tools menu and deselect the "WHEN STARTING
GO DIRECTLY TO MY INBOX" or to deselect "GET 300 HEADERS AT A TIME" one or
the other but not both. But when i do this it still does not work? PLEASE
HELP! I can't stand recieving double messages all the time.


Thanks
Devo

check your tools/accounts options, check to see that you havent created
duplicate pop server/hotmail accounts

Hi Devo - Re: duplicate Hotmail (and, I believe, now MSN also) messages,
this is a known bug since IE5.01 days which has never been fixed. The
workaround is to go to Tools\Options and uncheck the box that says "When
starting, go directly to my Inbox folder", and or the option to "Send and
Receive messages at startup". In general, you don't want to have any
Hotmail account selected whenever you're doing a manual or scheduled
download. To poll manually, you can use the Send and Receive All button
from the Local Folders home window.

If that doesn't solve it, take a look here:
