Each time I start tbird now get same problem Actual results: Multiple copies of downloaded emails Expected results: Should just get one copy of email downloaded and then not get duplicates on next get.
> Did get again later .. 531 emails downloaded again. This is always after a startup?

It can be running for a while and not just after startup. I am wondering though if it is a problem with the yahoo pop server? I switched to the "plus" version of their pop server (plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com) and so far not had a recurrence of the problem. I also went back to being on the Thunderbird beta program and installed version 57b1 but still had same problem until I switched pop servers.

Perhaps Tony can help

You can close this one. It was a yahoo server problem that once I switched to plus.yahoo ... I did not get a recurrence. Thx for investigating. Gordon
