I get multiple copies of all the messages in my Inbox

SP email: exmail.qq.com
whenever I check my mail with thunderbird (POP3) all mails in the inbox server are downloaded again.
I tried all the suggestionn of the form (removal of the index by removing the date file, unchecking leav on the area of the server).
colleagues who use outlook have a checkbox for the problem ("do not download multuple copy a mail). I don't see the equivalent in TB.

Your "popstate.dat" file keeps track of what it downloaded, so that when it connects with the server and look in the server Inbox, do not download anything that was previously downloaded.

In your case, you kept old messages previously downloaded to the Inbox server and the popstate.dat confused is to see them as needing to be downloaded.

This means that the 'popstate, dat' file must be corrupted - gone awol - because it keeps downloading e-mails previously downloaded.

You need to access your profile folders and delete the file "popstate.dat".

The profile folders are hidden folders.

make visible the hidden files and folders:

access profile folder:

In thunderbird:

   Help > Troubleshooting Information
   click on 'Show Folder'
   a new window opens showing your Profile Folder.
   Close Thunderbird now - this is important

   Click on 'Mail' folder
   click on 'mail account name'
   look for 'popstate.dat' file and delete it.

   close the window.

   Open Thunderbird.

What this will do?

When you restart Thunderbird, it will create a new file "popstate.dat". The disadvantage is that it. As he is not aware of what has been downloaded, it will download everything that is on the server Inbox, but only once.

The positive point is the following. This should fix the file popstate.dat and prevent additional downloads previously downloaded mail.

You will then need to remove duplicates that have been previously downloaded. There is an addon that you could use to help with duplicates.

See image for where the popstate.dat file is located.

  • I get two copies of all my emails. How can I stop this?

    I get two copies of all my emails, I have accounts set up, but it doubles the email for each of them

    original title: vista email

    Go to tools | Accounts and make sure that you have only one copy of the account listed.  Also try to remove the e-mail account, close WinMail.  Run WMUtil (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) to compact and repair the database and then open WinMail, and add the account back again.

    What does Windows DO when he "compact the message store? Do I lose all the messages? Is he blind?

    A value of any help, thanks EvieJD

    Hello

    The messages are really a database and compaction it just removes the white space
    assigned to messages that have been previously deleted. The process does not remove all
    other messages. Compaction of the database allows safer and less likely
    to suffer from corruption.

    Some information here:

    Message when you wake a computer Windows Vista from sleep or when you
    Restart the computer: "Windows Mail can compact the message store.

    I hope this helps.

  • Thunderstone, when do search on the mailbox can customize you search results to exclude all the messages folder?

    Step tell you is after you take a message from the search results, and it shows the full thread.

    Perhaps the better question is whether it is possible to do away with the folder all the messages altogether

    He can't seem to download my image so I'll try to present without.

    Click with the right button on the account in the folders pane and choose Subscribe
    deselect all the mail files.
    Right-click again and select settings
    In the server settings click the Advanced button and make sure to see the only subscribed folder is checked.

    That should remove the mail folder all.

  • The Inbox in the mail application does not all the messages that I can see through the Web browser

    I have a similar problem with the Mail application on Surface 2. Inbox does not all the messages that I can see through the Web browser. I chose E-mail download of any time in the account settings. But when it sync randomly takes messages in the Inbox to display. I uninstalled the app, restarted the Surface and again installed in the Windows store. But the problem remains. It's frustrating. I think the app is not fully developed.

    His works now. I did the sync and other things with no results. Then I noticed that my missing messages are somehow appearing in the file of the Newsletter. Then, I moved all the messages in the Newsletter folder in Inbox and unchecked it parameters. It's working now. There are apparently some bugs in the software that allows for the Newsletter to divert messages. In any case thanks for checking.
