During the last few months my Thunderbird email account has been receiving many duplicates of emails from the yahoo (AT&T) server. This happens only when I receive e-mails that have large attachments like multiple photos. My spouse has the same problem on her email account. Frequently I receive 25 duplicates of the same email in my inbox. I'm on Thunderbird release 31.5.0. My server setting is = pop.att.yahoo.com port = 995 My Outgoing server name is = smtp.att.yahoo.com

Antivirus program = Microsoft Security Essentials

other system info: Thunderbird 31.5.0 with Yahoo (AT&T) webmail. TB Server Name = pop.att.yahoo.com, port = 995, SSL/TLS. Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings = smtp.att.yahoo.com, port 465, SSL/TLS. "Leave messages on server" is UNCHECKED. Windows XP, Version 2002 SP3. Pentium 4, 2.66 GHz CPU, 2.5 GB RAM.

TB Email used to work perfectly for many years with these settings and equipment. A few months ago me & my wife's TB email accounts began to receive over thirty duplicates of any emails in our inbox that have large attachments like photos.
