I'm a new Vista user with Windows Mail, and nearly every email I receive is
repeated in my in-box (actually receive two emails that are the same).

Is this an IMAP account or a POP3 account?

Do you have your email account (click on Tools, then Accounts) entered
twice, possibly with different names?
 
I have 3 separate email accounts in Windows Mail, and they each have
different addresses.

My software includes Outlook. Is there possibly some interference, since I
had used Outlook Expresses before this new computer?
 
Does each account have a different (unique) username on its Servers tab?

The presence of Outlook will not cause this problem.
 
Yes, each account has a different (unique) username.

The only other possible cause for this issue is using a non-
compatible antivirus. Windows Mail is not compatible with most
McAfee and Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

If the problem persists, the account may have become corrupted.
Delete the account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
