I am not sure. Duplicate messages are common with Hotmail, but I have never
seen a post about the duplicate disappearing on its own.

Thanks, Bruce! That eliminated the double emails downloads, but why did
the
duplicate disappear? It's that that made me fear a spyware infection.

Duplicate messages.

For Hotmail, or IMAP accounts:

Tools | Options | General tab. Uncheck either: When starting, go directly
to
my Inbox folder or, Send and receive messages at startup.

I have noted that when initially retrieving emails, two of every email
will
be listed and within 10 seconds or so, one of the duplicates
disappears.
I
thought that maybe through some kind of glitch that the emails may just
LOOK
like their duplicates. But if I transfer them right away to a local
folder,
they both are there in full and neither disappears from there.
Interestingly, when files are moved to a local file folder, apparently
they're copied and the original is put into the deleted items file. As
above, when I move the double files to the local folder, the two
originals
get sent to the OE deleted items folder where one of the two copies
disappears. Is this just something goofy with OE6 or do I have some
kind
of
spyware double-downloading my emails and sending out the duplicate? I
don't
recall this hapening when I first started using it, but first noticed
it
about a month later.
