  My windows live mail sends multiple messages for one of my email accounts (and only one). It seems stuck in the Outbox and not appear in my sent items folder, but the buyer complains to receive up to 25 times. I uninstalled norton antivirus completely because I've heard of a similar problem with outlook, but have seen no improvement. Please help, it's making me look very unprofessional. I tried same emailing with my current antivirus disabled, but have not seen any improvement.
