Disable your anti virus email scanning feature and download your mail. Then re-enable it.

What anti virus are you using?

How do I do that

no idea as you did not answer my question.

I have superspyware free addition, malwarebytes free edition, microsoft security, and mcafee on the system but don't know how to check which one if any is connected to thunderbird....where do I look

When downloading the duplicate emails it is very slow and on;y downloads one a t a time

I deleted the email that kept down loading into thunderbird from web based email and it solved the problem of the continual download.
