Thanks for the tip. I've been using the cool Mac Mail trick, to view messages on the server, and delete junk/spam, but there is so much junk/spam coming through, and both good and bad e-mail is duplicated, so I'm still stuck with the problem of receiving multiple duplicate messages, literally hundreds everyday. I sure wish that there was a fix for this issue. Maybe I need to erase my hard drive and start all over again!! I really don't want to continue spending/wasting hundreds of hours deleting unwanted multiple copies of messages, of which about 90 % is junk/spam. Although for the moment, I think I've curtailed most of the spam/junk mail, by changing ISPs, keeping my best e-mail addresses secret, and using bogus names, addresses, for business .... but I'm afraid that will only be temporary, and I'll need to keep changing my e-mail accounts, which is a major problem, having to send hundreds of friends and relatives new e-mail addresses often!! If I could just find someway to stop receiving multiple copies of messages, that would really be a big help right now!! This is a brand new problem for me, which only started about six weeks ago. Is there any possible solution to stop receiving multiple copies of messages? Thanks for any ideas. -- vj
