Receiving doubles of e-mails

J

Jacky

Hi,
I use Microsoft Outlook and my provider said this is the
reason I keep receiving my e-mails in double. It becomes
annoying. My friends who use the same Outlook have the
same problem.

Do you have a solution other than switching to Outlook
Express which I don't want?

Thanks a lot

Do you use a firewall or antivirus set to scan your incoming mail? If yes,
turn that feature off.

So we should remove all of our security? I have the
problem more in Outlook Express than I do Outlook. And, I
notice it usualy happens when I have Messanger running at
the same time.

That's not what Milly said. She said disable incoming mail scanning. If
you have the on-access scanner still enabled, you're just as protected.

Is it a pop account or an HTTP account at Hotmail?
