Do not send email

When I send an email, the recipient gets several copies. Sometimes up to 20
copies of the email. I have increased the sensitivitiy on the touchpad,
confirmed my email account is only set up once, switched to a mouse.....I'm
not sure what else I can fix.

Any suggestions?

Do not reply with email

Actually, I figured the problem out myself. When I called Dell support, they
told me it was a problem with the way my email was confugured. So I called
my ISP Cox communication who advised me to send a deadend message to the
postmaster.....again no help. I got on their website and followed the
instructions to configure for Vista and have fixed the problem. Apparently
it has to do with the IP address.

Hope that helps!! I like to keep a copy of what I send so I can go back and
verify I sent the email to whom it was intended at the right time.

So exactly what change did you make?
Vista's mail should be no different than XP mail.
