I downloaded Yahoo Emails and merge the outlook mails to window mails.I find there are many duplicate mails in window mail. At first I manaually delete the dupliates in window mail, It costed me a lot of time and only delete little parts of duplicates. Now I find in window explorer, these are files for the mails. I think I might use a tool to remove duplicate files in 'window mail' folder on window explorer.Is it sage to do so.
Attempting to delete a legitimate contact in Windows Mail causes Windows Explorer to stop working, after which it then shuts down. The contact is not deleted. Why can't I simply delete a duplicate contact in Windows Mail without having the environment shut down? Does something have to be set in Options first for this to happen?
For some odd reason, I seem to get duplicates of every email received. Usually I get two copies, on rare occasions three or four, and last weekend I got more than 30 copies of a single email. I have already turned off the anti-spam feature of my anti-virus program. Is there any way to change the settings so I get only one copy of each email? I am running Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, with 3GB of memory on Dual CPU E2180 @ 2 GHz.
I've been looking through all the similar posts and have tried varying different suggestions from people but still my message is stuck in the outbox and I'm unable to Send emails.
I've tried the whole antivirus thing and changing the port number, together with going into my Drive and deleting things from there but still the pesky thing is sitting there taunting me.

Says messsage 27/166 trying to come in for the last 12 hours. How can I delete/cancel this email from coming in so I can receive my other emails that are backed up.
1- I put my charter.net email into Vista mail works great but now I can only get my email by going through vista mail. If I go to charter.net It says NO MESSAGES, but there are because I can get them when I go into vista mail.
Also I got an email from a trusted sender and Vista mail pt it throug to spam and said it could have been phishing, I am 100% it was not. I right clicked on the email and put it in trusted sender. Why didVista mail do that Finally I hate how when I go into vista ,mail even if I right click on an email It will open it (so say I right click on a spam email to delete it, vista mail will open it?
I have Windows Vista and I started getting duplicate emails today. The same 3-4 messages. I've checked tools to see if I have duplicate accounts and I don't. What else could be causing this?
After a windows update I now have duplicated folders (not contents) in my profile folder. If I view c:/users/profile then the duplicates are not there. If I just click the Profile link then they are. - 2 Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Favourites, Music, Pictures, Videos. Interestingly enough there is not a duplicate Links , Contacts or Saved Games, AppData or Searches.
The original content is still intact in the original folders but my profile is accessing the new ones so all of my program settings, browser profiles etc are inaccessible using the normal methods.
Also if I navigate to desktop then it shows links that don't show if I view my desktop.
A few weeks ago after an update Vista did a similar thing but started using a temporary profile even when I logged in fine so I couldn't access thigns, I created a new profile and copied stuff across. Now this! Arghhh, I hate windows, you never get this crap with *nix stuff.
Anyway, rant over, anyone any idea? I'm tearing my hair out and google hasn't helped. I'm not a tech noob but I don't have any real insight into how Vista does these things, I do web development not windows.
All of a sudden I have got duplicate desktop icons. It seems that the top layer is working as a shortcut but when I click & drag it there is another icon underneath which does not work. If I try to delete them only the top icon disappears the bottom one will not be moved or deleted. I have tried to use Unlocker, done disc clean up, defrag, disc check, run McAfee, superantispyware and no baddies found. I've posted a screen capture of just one icon but all the icons are affected.
I have many duplicate (exactly the same) emails in separate sub folders of my save folder. Looking for a good way to delete.Vista HP, vista mail 6 with all updates.
I am using Vista Home Premium 32bit and all of a sudden, in windows mail I am receiving all of my emails in duplicate. Everything was normal a couple of days ago. What have I inadvertently done?
I am receiving duplicate emails on most (not all) emails. I have gone to Tools->Accounts and there are NOT duplicate accounts. The problem seems to have started when I upgraded to Trend Micro Internet Security 2009 in January.
I am maintained Vista laptops for two elderly people and set them up on Internet Mail, they were on OE before. They like that it grabs contacts for them, the problem is that it duplicates them relentlessly: say Fred emails you often you get a Fred contact a (1) Fred, a (2) Fred, etc... For the life of me I can't find were to fix this, the knowledge base offers me the right choices but finds no documents. Does anybody have this problem? I can easily download Thunderbird for them but I'm trying to keep these laptops as simple as possible.
When I go to save a document in Office specificially it auto saves in Documents>>Documents. A double folder that is empty but show up under my Main profile. Even if I delete this folder, as it is empty...it still recreates itself when I go to save a document. How do I make it stop?
My OS is Vista Home Basic and I have duplicate folders of the same size and with he same sub-folders (couple of them Hidden such as AppData), one on the desktop and he other in the C: drive. Can I remove the one on the desktop without affecting the other one?
I imported my mailboxes from XP when I installed Vista a while back. I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem, but figured I would mention it. It seems to only happen when I put an email into a folder for organization (work stuff, personal, etc), but not in the mail inbox folder.
Just about all emails in that folder show the same content as one seemingly random email in there as well. On the main list where it shows the sender and subject file, everything is fine. But when I click on one of them, they all show the exact same content in the preview pane and if I double click it to open it. The same sender, subject and body. It even duplicates attachments.
In my C:Windows directory I've got a folder named "winsxs." I've also noticed that it is approaching 6 gb (yes gigabytes) in size. Do I need all these files contained in this folder? I used a duplicate file finder on that folder and found that there are many duplicate files (contents) contained within that folder. Dare I delete any of these? Just leave it alone?
I'm trying to move my Pictures/Music/Documents folders to a new location via Properties|Location|Move. It asks me if I want to move all my files from the old location to the new location. In my case, the new location is simply on another drive, D:My Pictures (just another partition on the same computer - no networking or anything). The dialog box says:"We recommend moving all of the files or you will see two 'Pictures' folders inside the 'Rhizomorph' folder in Windows Explorer" Fine, so I choose the option to move all my files.
but I still get duplicate folders!!!! The prompt specifically states that by moving all my files I will avoid creating duplicate folders, but it does it anyway. What the heck? When I try to delete the new folder that is created (which now has a regular yellow folder icon) it won't let me, despite having ownership of it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have recently been receiving duplicate mail in my POP3 account. I receive about 3 or 4 of the same e-mail a day and it is getting really annoying. I have removed my anti-virus and do not have duplicate accounts. I don't know what to do.
A few months ago we were importing pictures from a memory card (in a usb card reader) using Import pictures in the autoplay box. On each separate occasion we imported, Vista only imported the most recent pictures - which is what I expected to happen. Today we've gone throught the same process and Vista has imported all the old pictures which were already on the pc and the new ones as well. Why might this be happening - is there a setting which may have been switched off as we don't want to keep deleting the duplicated pictures
Vista Home Premium. I am the only Administrator and the PC does not use passwords. I have created a folder in Excel 2007 which has several subfolders. I want to rename the folder so I can work on a duplicate without risking damage. However, I am not allowed to do this. Each time I try I get "You need to confirm this operation", followed by "You need permission to perform this action" 'Try again'. This just repeats each time I try so it is not possible for me to achieve what I want.
received an email from lady with mac. Have received emails from her frequently in the past, however this email will not display, or delete. "Unknown Error",
