To remove and then redo the account will CAUSE the duplication of emails.
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!!!!!
I keep having the same answer , like many other live mail users: “To reconfigure the account.”
I as many other people already have done it but NO BODY answer what the question is: how to remove the duplicated messages we already have.
Please, try to answer this request.
Thanks a lot,
