I've already tried deleting the popstate.dat files. When I restart Thunderbird, I receive one duplicate of recent emails and then keep receiving one particular email over and over again. Any idea how to stop this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I would go to your providers web mail page and log into your account there. Read the problem email and delete it or move it out of the Inbox. See if this frees up the remaining mail and stops the problem download.

Thunderbird 36.0.1 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.
