Why does Thunderbird keep retrieving the same emails 2 to 3 times from my hotmail that I already retrieved?
It's not always exactly like this but here is example of the problem I'm having; In the morning I open Thunderbird and it automatically retrieves the new emails from my web emails Hotmail and Gmail (that's good). In the afternoon, when I open Thunderbird again, it will retrieve the same emails from Hotmail that I already got in the morning (that's not good). Sometimes when I open Thunderbird a third time, it will again get those same emails from Hotmail (That's frustrating).
Note: 1) This only happens only with the hotmail account, not the gmail account. 2) The second and/or third time I open Thunderbird is not necessarily the same day, it could be the next day or next time. I just used the morning/afternnon example for ease of explanation.

I have the same issue. I have not followed it up, Hotmail is such a rubbish service these days and I am sick of dealing with support there. They simply do not understand mail or it's protocols. They only comprehend "Microsoft" and their scripts. I just moved on the GMX.
But I am guessing something there is broken. Perhaps it is not moving the mails to the POP folder in a timely manner. But I am seeing exactly the same thing. And it is not always either. Windows 8 uses IMAP so they really do not care if POP works or not. They would probably prefer not.
