it keeps loading the same emails over and over for about a week's worth of email into thousands of copies now
the same emails keep get loaded from the server. My other computer using a old version of thunderbird does not have this problem once the emails replicate you can't delete them either. so I suspect it is this version
Name: Thunderbird Version: 52.5.2 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.5.2 help? anyone? jim

Restart the operating system in safe mode with Networking. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX
- If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Matt's help solved my problem. Thank you very much. I deleted two software applications that were installed or updated near the date that the problem started.

What two programs did you dispense with? Just trying to build up my "it might be" knowledge for use latter.
Matt, one program was the latest Java update. The other one I am not sure what it was but it was a maps program of some sort. I deleted them, then , emptied trash, restarted with several complete shut downs and then emptied trash again. I think that was overkill but my problems seem to have started right after the Java update was installed. hope that helps. thanks again. Jim
