Went to my email place and hit the send recieve booton and it put over 300 emails in my maail box. Come to find out that all emails were tripled. I took them off and answered alot then I went off came back later and hit it again did the same thing.
Took me lots of time out of doing my emails and not andswer anything 2 times lol.
Has this happened to you?

The same thing has happened to me many times and it's very annoying. Usually it's something in the client you're using, but sometimes the server is at fault. Web-based mail is normally the best because it won't double up email on its own. Outlook Express is famous for creating multiple copies.

I really dislike webmail, but I don't have much of a choice at the moment. When I get a new PC up and running, I'll install Outlook (not Express). I've used that since I was a beta tester for Microsoft in the mid 1990's, and, regardless of what people say, it's really great. I have saved email since 1994 and refer back to it all of the time.

Boyhowdy that sounds nasty. No it hasn't happened to me but one day there was hundreds of emails in my box, some were 8 moths or so old (can't remember exact details now) some I had received before and answered, others were new to me. It is such a time waste when that happens...I switched to gmail and have been problem free so far.

yes that has happened to me before and I really do not know why, but a lot of time is is only doubles and triples from one or two people. Once is was associated content, I had doubles and triples of everything coming from them and that was really something, because on a normal day I get between 700 and a 1000 emails.

I've gone through that before... It is no fun at all... You kind of wish there was a way to just eliminate the offending emails, the duplicates and triplicates, by just looking at them... Having to delete each of them independently is no fun.

Hi lakota! I have never had that happen to me! Every now and
then they do double! But, I don't think that I have every had
a batch of them triple like that! That would drive me nuts!
And I am planning on going away for a week or so and I can
just imagine what will be in my email boxes when I return!
I haven't quite figured out how to shut them off either because
I will have thousands when I get back and I will have to just
delete them all! There will be no way that I will be able to
look though them!

I've gotten a few doubles but not any triplicates. But once I joined a downline business and rteceived hundreds of emails notifying me of people that had been placed in my downline. And even with all of those people still did not make any money. It was just a gimmick.

This has never happened to me. That is a huge glitch with a site. Has it happened since then? Did you notify the site about it?

It happened to me years ago, but it has not happened to me in a very long time, which is a good thing since I have a lot of messages in my inbox. It would be really bad if they doubled up on me. I would be really over whelmed by that, I use Hotmail, so I don't think it would happen now.

DOnt think it would matter if I did use my hot mail my cable compnay gets it first.
and if there is one darn peice to hbig or something wrong wiht it it sticks this time it gave me triple every thing till I got what ever it was out of there.
Thankis for responce
