Hi,

My wife is using MS XP with updates and Mozilla Thunderbird as her email
client. When I look at the inbox most of the emails are double - two or
each. Additionally, when someone tries to send her an email it says 'over
quota'. I am trying to reduce the 300 email in my wife's inbox but meeting
with great resistance.

If we could solve the 'duplicates' I think the rest is simple(?)

Goodwill,
Luke

Look for "Leave messages on server". Unless you have a reason to have
this checked, uncheck it. Every message is being kept on your wife's
mail server, hence the mailbox is full. You may then nede to log in to
her mail providers web interface and delete the messages.

Once you've done that, close Thunderbird and search for
"inbox.msf" - this is the index file, and when it's corrupted it
can caused messages to show more than once. Delete this file,
and re-start TB.

For more help with TB use any of the links below.
