Why is my Receiving Duplicate Emails in Gmail?

[smith8395john]

When the same email appears in your mail client many times, it might be aggravating. This writeup discusses two typical reasons and how to deal with the issue of Receiving Duplicate Emails in Gmail.

POP3 profile is messed up.
The most typical reason for this issue is that your email client uses the POP3 protocol.
Several addresses are sent to a single address.
Another typical reason for this problem is numerous addresses forwarding to one address: this means that if the same message is sent to more than one of the forwarded addresses, they are all sent, even if they appear to the mail client to be distinct email messages.
