About a week ago, I ask for help solving a problem of receiving several copies of messages from the server. Each time Emailer would retrieve my messages I would get the same messages over and over. Well tech support at my ISP, MSEN, seems to have found the problem. I have copied their diagnosis below in hopes that others may avoid the frustration that I went through.

Eventually, you might need to turn that part off completely. I should also mention that this problem only recently surfaced, and it is because of the increased number of spams that I receive. The same tech person also pointed me to steps to take through their service to filter spam before it gets to me.
