    Export your email

    Import into Thunderbird

    Use the Thunderbird add-on which removes duplicates

    Stay in Thunderbird:)

    There is no way to do it in WLM

    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,

    Luz
