Thunderbird is downloading multiple copies of emails from the server. Takes up space. It had downloaded over 50,000 duplicated emails. How do I stop it?

Thunderbird is downloading emails and making multiple copies of them. It had reported 60,000 downloaded emails. Almost all of them multiple duplications. How do I stop it? I have been using Thunderbird for less than a month, with it working well. Then it starts doing this.

Please help me solve this problem.

Outlook had that same problem in roughly the same time period. It did it for a while, and then it went away. I see it very rarely in TB.

You posted this question 5 days ago...do you still have the problem, or is it now fixed?

Thx
