A common issue for users of Microsoft mail clients (Outlook, Outlook Express) is multiple copies of messages showing up in your Inbox with no obvious reason.
Please check two things:
Leave Messages on Server
The most common cause may be the option to Leave Messages on Server. If you set the Leave Messages on Server setting to more than 5 days, you will almost certainly experience terrible bouts of duplicate messages sooner or later!
Adjust this setting to 5 or fewer days like this in Outlook:
Tools -> E-Mail Accounts -> View or Change... -> Change -> More Settings -> Advanced
If Leave Messages on Server is checked, make sure the Remove From Server setting is 5 or less.
Rules Processing
One common cause of multiple messages are misconfigured E-Mail Rules. Check for this in Outlook by clicking:
Tools -> Rules and Alerts
Check each rule to verify the proper logic.
Forwarding
Improper forwarding can also result in duplicate messages. Make sure you have not configured an account or a mail client to forward messages in an illogical fashion.
