    Hi Ashraf Ali,

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you and I'm glad to help you out with your issue on how you can remove duplicate emails on your Inbox in Windows Live Mail.

    First off, here are the possible reasons why users like you are receiving duplicate emails:

    • The account is accessed on an email client or mobile phone.
    • The sender has send the email multiple times specially if he/she is having a network or server problems while sending the message.

    I know that you do not want to re-configure your account in Live Mail but please make sure that you have properly configured your account for it can also be a reason why it is downloading duplicate emails on the said application. In line with this, I would suggest as well to please contact your email provider to verify POP3 or SMTP server and port settings which is why the previous moderator has suggested of it. To know how you can re-configure your account in Live Mail, please refer to the link he provided.

    To remove your duplicate emails, all you have to do is manually delete it.

    Feel free to post back if you need clarifications.

    Thank you.

    Hello Melanie,

                        Thank you very much for the response.

           In my situation I recently configure the Windows live mail, then i used some shortcuts to import the mails in the windows live mail Like "Copying the .eml files pasted in the destination" As same as i done some of the .eml files twice and trice in the destination and i surprised...! it doesn't give an prompt pop-up window/message which has a information that the contents is already in the destination folder.

    Example: When we paste the some similar file in the same folder twice it give the pop-up window with the information that already contents are available in the folder    

    After synchronizing the live mail i found a lot of Duplicate mails in my Inbox. I am afraid.

    I can't reconfigure my my mail box also because some lakhs of mails are there... If any software or any tricks are there to remove the Duplicates. I am gonna feel cool or else i need to give 48 hours to reconfigure the my Windows mail box again.

    It's my humble request to you if any method is there to remove that all.

    Please help me out.

    Regards,

    Ashraf Ali.
