479908	2006-08-21 10:09:00	I use Incredimail and Netscape for my emails. On 8/8/2006 I received an email from a friend. after replying to this I received another and then another, since then I have received hundreds of the same email. All sent on 8/8/2006 at 12.07 pm. This only comes through on Netscape NOT incredimail. I have been unable to find a way to stop receiving these. I delete them as they come but still they come. Can someone help please. I have gone into extra mail and it is not there. This has only happened twicw and both times with the same person.	Puru (11026)
479909	2006-08-21 10:36:00	Sounds like your friend has a virus. Advise him/her to run a scanner and get help if needed before they pass it on to someone else, (like you)	DeSade (984)
479910	2006-08-21 10:56:00	Thanks DeSade for your reply. The only thing is that the email came from a commercial buisness and aparently their IT people are pretty sure it isn’t a problem with their computer. (At least that is what my friend said).	Puru (11026)
479911	2006-08-21 11:18:00	Then its some other computer in the chain, its highly unlikely your machine is duplicating INCOMING emails, there would be no point to that for the spammers. I suggest you block the email that is sending these, get your friend to use a different one, eliminate the problem.	DeSade (984)
479912	2006-08-21 19:29:00	Hi Puru As it only seems to occur within Netscape Mail and not Incredimail, it suggests a corruption within Netscape. Is this the Netscape webmail you are using as I didn't realise they had an email client? Are you forwarding on your Xtra emails to the Netscape webmail, but downloading directly from Xtra in Incredimail?	Jen (38)
479913	2006-08-21 20:40:00	Could you clarify a few things Do you have the same email address and email account set up in both Incredimail and Netscape mail. When you say you get hundreds of the same email do they come in bulk or one at a time each time you check your mail. If you have a look at the headers of the email you might find it is the same message but has passed through the mail servers at different times and dates which indicates it is actually being sent multiple times. If the sender is using a Microsoft Exchange server these can get into a loop and send out multiple Messages. If as you say it does not show in Xtra webmail then it has been downloaded by you and if you receive it again it must have been sent again probably by the fault in the senders mail server.

479914	2006-08-21 20:50:00	Thanks Jen, I am not very computer, jargon, literate but I have been told that I use Netscape Composer 7.2 and that both Netscape and incredimail are pop 3. If that means anything. Thanks DeSade I will pass on your message.	Puru (11026)
479915	2006-08-21 21:00:00	Hello Safari, To clarify. I use the one email address and can send from either Netscape or Incredimail but I receive on both. The email is only coming up on Netscape and always has the same time and date. It only pops up when the computer is on. but I receive one about every 10 minutes. Even while I have been writting this I have received 5.	Puru (11026)
479916	2006-08-21 21:12:00	Why have you got the same email address set up on two mail clients. If you close Netscape and do a mail check with Incredimail you should receive those messages in Incredimail if it is the same account. I still suspect it is the senders mail server causing this. Check the full headers of the message and post them here. Go to View/Headers/All to see all the details.	Safari (3993)
479917	2006-08-21 21:29:00	I use the two so as to utilise the different strengths of the two clients. I like to send / reply on Incredimail and receive and save on Netscape as Incredimail is not as reliable as Netscape, but not as boring.	Puru (11026)
