Windows Mail Keeps Sending Every Message Twice

[Guest]

Everytime I click the "Send" button after composing a message in the "New
Message" screen the message doesn't automatically close unless I press the
"Send" button again.

To my surprise, everyone has been getting my emails twice.

Is there a setting that will force the "New Message" composition window to
close the first time I press the "Send" button?

check Tools - Accounts to see if maybe you have 2 identical accounts set
up..

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. 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
