Duplicate mail Outlook Express

[Guest]

I just got a new computer and had all my files transfered to from the old one
to the new one. Now when I open Outlook Express I receive to copies of mail
for each email received. How can I fix that?

Hi SomorPlz,

AFAIK, the duplicate mails need to be deleted manually. If there are
thousands of duplicates, then consider a third-party tool from here:

However, you may post this question in the OE groups to learn if there is
any other alternative for this problem. Microsoft Public Newsgroups listing
is available at http://aumha.org/nntp.php

Is there juse one duplicate set of e-mail? or do you download another
duplicate set of mail everytime you download mail?
