Yes. Make sure OE is closed first.

Bruce, Thanks for that - I have located the Pop3uidl.dbx files - there are
two of them dated today about 6 hours apart. Is it OK to delete them both,
please? HoraceM

I don't know if it is a fault of McAfee, or not, but I would never use a
McAfee or Norton product. They both cause problems with OE.

See if this applies to your problem.

Duplicate messages.

For Hotmail, or IMAP accounts:

ToolsOptionsGeneral tab. Uncheck either: When starting, go directly to
my
Inbox folder or, Send and receive messages at startup.

For a POP3 account, see:
http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#pop3uidl

As for an A/V program:

I would recommend AVG Free:

or:
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/40/lng/ww

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning
when
you see the option.

Free and better that the *Brand Name* programs.

After setting up an additional account for my wife, and encountering a
lot
of
problems on the way, mostly it appears through McAfee AV software, now
when
an email is sent to us both, my account gets one delivery but my wife
receives two. I have just sent a test email from each of the account to
each
of the accounts and the duplication happened both times on my wife
screen,
any thoughts, please?
