I have several email accounts on my Mozilla Thunderbird. ALL of them work great for past year or two, Recently the "Inbox" and the "Sent" folders on my "@msn.com" account are displaying every message/text IN DUPLICATE ! I do not know how or why but I checked my "@msn.com" account on my Apple iPhone and they are NOT duplicated. Perhaps I changed something in Thunderbird for that account? I would appreciate any help.

all iterations of "hotmail" have had issues since the release of the outlook branding for the web mail with actually doing what they say they will do with email on the server when pop mail is used. Basically it takes up to half an hour for them to move/delete the mail from the inbox so you get it more than once before they do their thing. only fix I have seen is set Thunderbird to actually only get mail on the account every 30 minutes or so or change the settings on the outlook web site to actually delete the mail when the client requests it, not move it to the pop folder.

It appear the issue affect "some accounts some of the time" so I guess they do not have their load balancing balanced and some server are just overloaded.
