Every email downloads...again

[cowboymom]

I have just had Windows Mail for about a month. I have hughes net for my
internet connection so I have been using their email service because
everytime I open my Windows Mail it starts downloading every email that has
ever been sent to me. I have some emails that have been sent to my computer
ten or twelve times. I tried letting it download all the emails and be done
with it but it never does. It stops in the middle somewhere. I guess it
won't hold 12k emails. It starts when direcway was switched to hughes net.

I cannot send emails and I can't read any new ones. Any suggestions on how
to fix this? Should I call up Microsoft and sit on hold forever??

Thanks.

In Windows Mail...

Click on Tools, then Accounts.

Pick your main email address and choose Properties

Go to Advanced

At the bottom, is " leave a copy of message on server" ticked?

If so, untick it.

Click OK.

Do that for every email account you have.
