when sending a message in Thunderbird, my sent folder always shows two messages sent, why is this and how can it be fixed? I have been through settings and cannot find any obvious setting that could be set to do or change this duplication in sending mail. Can you please advise? Bernibabe.

This is de jure in Google and Hotmail as those providers add the outgoing message to the sent folder as it passes through their server. As they do not offer an opt-out option for their bit of helpfulness and as Thunderbird defaults to making a copy, just about everyone gets two copies in the send folder.
It is a simple thing to turn of the making of sent mail copies in the copies and folders part of account settings by deselecting the place a copy in check mark.
What actually surprises me is how few people ask this question. There are other settings that get more questions asked that I see as easier to find. So I am left wondering of a significant percentage of folk are just putting up with two copies of everything.
