Im using OE6 to get my Hotmail emails, however when i recieve the emails they
are always in duplicates. I used microsofts suggestions on page
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;296447 and followed
their advice and changed the hotmail*.dbx file extensions to .xxx but this
just made all the previous messages in my inbox duplicate. I tried to change
the extensions back but i could only change 2 out of the 4 back, the others
said that the file couldnt be changed because a file with that name already
exists. Now Outlook express wont even open when i click on the icon in my
task bar.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Duplicate messages.

For Hotmail, or IMAP accounts:

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