Since first using Thunderbird it worked ok but following recent upgrades/fixes it now downloads some e mails from the server twice within a few minutes. I have it set to check for new mail every 10 mins. I generally leave my e mails on the server but I deleted all mail from the server to try to fix this thinking it could be server side but the problem continues!

Ok

Item one.

Live consider 15 minutes the minimum period to check mail . More frequent attempts are access denied and repeated attempts results in a request for your password as Thunderbird decides it obviously has it wrong.

Item two'

Disable email scanning in your anti virus program, It is by far the most common cause of duplicate mails being downloaded.
