When sending email thru Thunderbird on PC, sentbox always shows emails sent twice (but only received once).

If I send email thru my phone, sent mail shows sent only once, so I know it's a problem with Thunderbird.

Any ideas?

Is it a gmail or outlook.com/hotmail/live account? They automatically copy sent messages to Sent, so you should uncheck 'Place a copy in' under Copies & Folders in Tools/Account Settings.

It's a Hotmail account.

I made your adjustment and it's all set now.

Thanks
