Today (June 3) I experienced an astoundingly high volume of new e-mail loaded
into my Inbox. The new e-mail was unexpected and upon further review is a
duplicate of past e-mail. Has anyone experienced this or have any
suggestions as to what provoked this?

My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate.

Thank you, Mark

I got more than usual spam overnight, especially fake non-delivery notices.
 
Frank,

Thank you for responding. My large volume of new e-mail (close to 1,000)
was not spam but legitimate duplicate e-mails. I am extremely concerned as
to what prompted Windows Mail to "take on a life of its own" and that this
will probably happen again without understanding why.

I would appreciate anything you can add.

Thank you again, Mark
 
If this was a one-time occurrence, I suspect that Windows Mail was not
to blame. Sometimes the mail server has to be reloaded from a backup
tape, and the flag that denotes whether a message was already downloaded
may not survive this process.
 
Gary,

Thank you!

Any thoughts on how to reverse what was done to remove the duplicate e-mails
from my Inbox?

Regards, Mark
 
Sorry, no.
