Only speculations :

  1. You have 2 identical e-mail accounts. Open Windows Mail > Tools > Accounts. See 2 identical accounts ?
  2. Your anti-virus program has an e-mail scanning action which causes havoc. It is wise to disable that scanning option.

Tools | Accounts | Mail Section. Any chance you have the same account listed twice?

    I am using Livemail, and don't see any of these things. no help button, no tools. I receive dupicates from my gmail accont but not my verizon account. Both of them dump into Livemail which I like, but two of the gmails and one of the verizon. I can't find any settng button to see how these were set up intitally.

    As explained before in this thread, Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail are completely different programs.
