How would I free myself from receiving duplicate e-mail mess

The e-mail function in Outlook Express has doubles. I.E., I receive TWO
entries of the same e-mail message. (This does not occur in the newsgroup
function.)

How would I free myself from receiving duplicate e-mail messages?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

Turn off one of these options:

When starting go directly to my Inbox

or

Send and Receive messages at startup.

With both of these options checked, OE essentially is asking for Hotmail or
MSN Web mail messages twice, concurrently. Also, don't manually go to your
Hotmail or MSN Web mail Inbox until the mail check is complete.
