Windows Mail driving me crazy

Hi, i had a problem for several months and hadn't taken the time to try to
fix it. i wasn't receiving e-mail and AT&t psssd me off a little bit. Anyway,
i finally got it up and running and deleted over 16k messages. But, every
time i click receive to see if it is working properly i get the same 16k
messages i have now gone through approximately 5 times and deleted...these
messages go back to 07, way before i had a problem. Can someone provide an
answer before I throw my computer out the window...Please...???

Re: Windows Mail driving me crazy

Windows Mail can only download messages sitting in the Inbox folder
of your webmail. Go to http://mail.yahoo.com, log in with your AT&T
credentials, then either delete the older messages, or move them to a
folder other than Inbox.
