My sent folder displays duplicate outgoing email in Thunderbird with every message I send, why? How do I stop the duplicate email?

Is this a Hotmail/live/outlook account? If so, uncheck "Place a copy in" under Tools/Account Settings/accountname/Copies & Folders, since a copy will already be placed in the Sent folder on the server. This Sent folder is visible in TB if the account is IMAP.
