HI,

I have an hotmail account which I changed from Pop to Imap. Receiving, deleting and archiving mail work fine. But the send box in TB shows my mails twice. However mails which I send from outlook on line are shown only once.

Is it so that by having twice my send mails is taking twice the size? How can I make it back to normal?

Note that the addressees receive my mails normally , e.g. once . I have checked the account settings but did not find anything strange. In going server : imap-mail.outlook.com Out going server : smtp-mail.outlook.com

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hotmail/live/outlook.com accounts automatically copy a sent message to the Sent folder, so to avoid duplicates, uncheck "Place a copy in" under Tools/Account Settings/hotmailaccount/Copies & Folders.
