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.

For a POP3 account, see:

That should take care of the problem you have now, but you would do well by
getting rid of McAfee completely, and replace it with anything except
Norton.

I use, and recommend, AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when
you see the option.

E=mail scanning is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting
changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you
sufficiently. For more, see:

Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

I was having a problem with Outlook Express caused by McAfee, so I
uninstalled it and reinstalled it. This solved the original problem, but
now I receive every email twice, a real nuisance.

Any help or comments will be appreciated.
