I don't want to see/delete emails from account A that are duplicated in account B. There must be a setting that controls this? I welcome help!!

So, I checked with the mail provider for the mail being duplicated and there IS a setting that allows you to forward emails to another address. I deselected that. :) :) :)

Thanks, Matt!!!

Usually when people appear here complaining about just this issue, it is because hey have set account B to collect mail from Account A on the mail providers web site.

Thank you for replying. :)

As I suspected: there IS a setting! ...I couldn't find it. Do you have any ideas on that?

"on the mail providers web site"... I missed that first time through. Okay, not sure what that means but I'll start hunting.
