Why do I keep receiving multiple copies of e-mail messages, including thousands of good messages that I need to keep. I've been receiving as many as five exact copies of messages for a long time now, and it has become a major problem. I have to spend hours deleting thousands of unwanted messages.

How can I put a stop to this annoying problem? Thanks.

Who is your email provider?
What protocol are you using?

I've changed my ISP to Clearwire, and still having the same exact problem with receiving multiple copies of messages on my iBook G4, running OS X 10.4.6. Some messages are duplicated as many as nine times!! Others two or three times. And some messages are not duplicated at all.

Messages on my old PowerMac 7300/500 are not duplicated. I'm running OS 9.1 on the PM7300/500, and using Outlook Express.

Did you ever solve your problem of getting multiple e-mails? We've got the same problem with a new MacBook. It's been fine for 2 months -- all of a sudden hundreds of multiple messages are arriving.

Did you find a fix? Was it your ISP?
