Receiving each email twice (exact copies) in Outlook Express

[Ahmudo]

I have a hotmail account and I use Outlook Express to send/receive emails
from it. My problem is that I receive two copies of the same email, in other
words I get the email twice at the same time. It is from the same person,
subjest and content so I am sure it is not a different one. For example, my
msn messenger displays a message saying i have three new emails, I goto
outlook express and it downloads 6 emails, 3 emails and exact copes of them
too.

What is this problem?

In OE - Tools - Options - General, insure "When starting, do directly to my
'Inbox' folder" is unchecked. Do not go to your inbox until all mail has
been downloaded.
