(Using Outlook Express) I find this only happens if I'm actually in the Inbox when I'm checking for emails. And if I go out of the inbox and back in then the extra copies disappear. It was annoying to start with when I tried deleteing the extra copy and both went! now when I check emails i stay in another folder, the number of messages appears, doubles, then goes back down and THEN i go in to check. Spend most of my time deleting Husband's spam anyway...
