Yesterday and today I've received messages that WLM was unable to download
messages from Comcast. net. I disregarded the messages, as my emails were,
in fact, downloaded. Then the messages were downloaded again, resulting in
duplicate messages. Today, when new messages were downloaded, all the prior
ones were too (resulting again in duplicates) and the the ones that were not
previously downloaded were downloaded twice.

Incidentally, before I downloaded WLM, I would get that message for Hotmail,
but also disregarded it as the messages were, in fact, downloaded, but they
were never downloaded in duplicate.

Strange, I noticed the exact same thing. I use Comcast for Internet access
but for me this occurred on accounts that are using my own mail server.

Repeated downloads of the same messages are usually caused by
downloads not completing. When a POP3 download completes
successfully, the server is told to delete those messages from the
server. If the server is not given that command (because of a
stuck or incomplete download), nothing gets deleted from the server.

The way to fix this is to access the server via webmail, then delete
the oldest message you see there. It is probably corrupt.
