Thanks all, my problem is fixed now, I still don't why the triplicate
emails but may be attributable to
1. Not enough useable Hard Disk space.
2. Using Mail as an archive for ALL emails AND attachments.
3. With all the triplicate emails - this filled up the little
available space on hard drive and then Mail could do anything because
it was overloaded.
4. SOLUTION: One WD 2Tb External Drive from OfficeWorks ($98) then I
was able to follow through with the advice from the group easily.
Thanks, Rick.

Hi Robert,
Originally I was helping you fix your Apple Mail in OS 10.6.8 (Snow
Leopard) now you mention you have Lion on your computer ... So I
responded with instructions how to show the User ~/Library
(otherwise known as the Home Library) in Lion OS X 10.7.
You now have instructions how to find ~/Library - Mail Folder in
both Lion & Snow Leopard.
But why do you even need to do this now? as you mentioned earlier
that Hi Ronda!
I've done all that now and it all seems OK--
If the duplicates have gone and not appeared again, you don't need
to do anything else.
There is no need to do anything in the User Library.

Hi Ronda! Don't understand you're response.I've got Lion on my
main (in Computer ) Drive and run Snow Leopard from an External
drive (Some "Non Lion" compatible Apps. I need to use) In any
case,I tend to favour Snow Leopard.

Hi Robert,
You said you were using Apple Mail in OS 10.6.8 iMac 27" 3.2 Ghz

I’m not a mind reader ;-)
Show User ~/Library in OS X Lion
Launch Terminal from Spotlight or Launchpad -> Utilities, and
enter the
following command to show or hide the directory:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
The users Library folder will immediately become visible again.
OR, even easier:
Just press and hold the “option/alt” key, and you can choose
“Go to Library” in the Go menu of the Finder.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronda!
I cannot find a Library anywhere in HOME and I've searched
thoroughly. There is a Library Folder in Leopard but it contains
nothing related to Mail and.once again ,I've searched
throroughly. I also checked through the system Library - zilch!

Re :" If that doesn’t solve the problem, quit Mail, navigate

The Tilde ~ indicates your Home > Library > Mail Folder …
“Envelope Index” should be under “DefaultCounts"
Darned if I can find the above in the Library Folder!

When you launch Mail again, it’ll tell you that you need to
“reimport” all your messages.
