Emails seem to be overwritten by other messages upon receipt.....they show correct header information in INBOX, but when I select message, or try to open it, it is a different message altogether (even though Header information shows original email message.) The only way I am able to view those overwritten messages is by logging into my account through my browser, and only after I changed settings to "Leave Messages on Server".

Very frustrating, has been happening for several months. If I can't fix this, will need to find another email program.
