how frequently are you checking for new mail? Ctl+Alt+S to bring up the Send
and Receive settings - it should be at least 10 min.

i checked the settings and changed it from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. However
the problem is that I am receiving all the emails in my inbox each time so
that iI have multiple copies of each one.
