I'm use win xp pro and outlook express for downloading my e-mails i have a pop3 account and an msn account. with my MSN account i always get the same e-mail twice and somtimes as much as four times is there a way of stopping this, it never happens with my pop3 account just msn.
 
This is probably happening because you enter your inbox while OE is checking for messages. It happens with hotmail anyway, so I'm guessing it will also happen with msn. As a test, open OE and make sure your viewing one of your local folders until after OE has finished checking your msn account. If your new messages aren't duplicated, that's the problem.
 
Check that you MSN account properties aren't set to 'Leave Messages on Server.' There was a known issue with OE doing this.
