I will receive several emails when I turn on the computer. Most of the emails will have the correct sender and their message details. Sometimes though I will receive the emails from different senders but when I open the message detail the messages are all the same. Is there a setting that I can use to fix this problem?

Your folder is getting corrupted. Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.

Be prepared to lose some messages if the corruption is very bad.
