    Microsoft Windows Live Mail is GREAT!

    Out of the blue . . . I start getting DOZENS of duplicates of my emails.  Really great software that we pay for when we purchase a computer!

    Then Microsoft says to just remove your account and then replace it.  Unfortunately you didn't say there is a lot of other garbage. 

    Now my emails are all gone and I can't get any emails or reference my other received emails . . . hey . . . this Microsoft is great. 

    You people actually get paid for this kind of garbage!!!!!

    Dear NoviSellet, Microsoft is not interested in solving your problem, because your problem is not their problem. They develop software with only their needs in their mind.

    I have the same problem you have and I perfectly understand what you are going through. But Microsoft employees don't care what your problems are.

    I have the very same problem because I have millions of duplicate emails but I have to delete them one by one because these genius developers did not think of providing Windows live mail with a duplicate remover. Don't listen to them, don't ask them anything because they DON'T CARE.

    Look at what they did with Windows 7 and windows 8 they completely destroyed an OS by removing stuff like the start button, the search button, they impoverished the whole software design.

    In windows 7 they even removed the Show Desktop Icon. They design OS with their **** in mind.

    Pathetic.

    I have had a number of times now where my computer is running very slow and my windows live is stalling and when the windows live comes back up is starts downloading 1000s of emails over again.

    Not only this, but when backing up my mails and importing them after fresh install there are duplicates that come through and then many mails formatting was wrong and I get emails that have funny characters in the copy and several emails combined in each email.

    Unfortunately I need to keep even these emails in case they might have some valuable info like login details to one of my accounts or access info to software, etc.

    I found a tool that says it can delete these duplicates called Delete Duplicates which says it will assess the mails and filter and delete duplicates in Outlook and Live.

    The main issue I have with this is will it delete the wrong email.  Maybe the email it deletes is the good formatted email and it keeps the one that is junk...?

    Anyway, here is a link to ask.com with info on the tool.  I have not used it yet, but am considering since I have hundreds of thousands of emails which is a major pain especially when I do a security scan on my computer and it takes hours just running through my emails.

    Anybody have any other ideas on this let me know as I would love to clean up my dogon email folders.
