Recieving many many copies of the same emails

Hi,

Every time my client checks my email, it downloads copies of the same 16
emails. These emails were originally sent yesterday and today.

Could this possibly be something I am doing? Or is it simply something
wrong with my ISP?

 

you need to look at the settings for the mail reader
there should be a setting such as: "leave read messages on the server"
or "delete read messages on the server"

I am using Agent. It has a checkbox "leave read messages on the server".
The box is unchecked.

However, your suggestion caused me to check my ISP webmail and those 16
messages were in my inbox. I deleted them and thus got no more messages
until I sent myself a test message. I now receive multiple copies of that
message.

Which leads me to believe that when other messages come into my inbox,
the same thing will happen. Thus, unless someone suggests otherwise? I
will assume this is my ISP's problem (Surgemail).

Thank you

 

looks like you;ve got your mail reader configured ok

but maybe you should try another reader to see what happens
before you call your ISP

 

could possibly be something on your isp's server....if your isp has web mail
capibilty log into webmail and see if those messages are still on the
server...if they are purge them off the server....if there is none there check
your client to see if there is an option to leave copies on the server if it is
a chosen properties uncheck to leave a copy on the server...hopefully this
helps....
