double message are retrieved from hotmail in outlook express

• I see double message are retrieved from hotmail in outlook express 6.0 using my dial up ppp account. What setting in it will avoid this from happening.

• Answer:

  Hi there, I think I have the solution to your problem. Here's what to do: Open Outlook Express and click Tools and then Options. If "When starting go directly to my Inbox folder" and "Send and receive messages at startup" are both checked that is what could be causing the duplicate messages. If both those options are checked, remove the checkbox from either one of them and your problem should go away.

Your problem could be caused because the file that holds the Hotmail messages on your computer is damaged.
