i recive emails fron one source and get two emails. the email first part is the same but the last is diffent. thunderbird only looks at the first part of the email. both have the same buddynfo but different servers names. I get two emails everytime because thunderbird only looks at the first part of the email.

I don't know where you got that notion from, but that's not how Thunderbird works. I bet you accidentally signed up for a Grammarly account twice using the two email addresses. If you open the message, at the bottom of the body, do you see any link for unsubscribing from such messages, or a footnote explaining why you're receiving them? Such footnotes are often written in a very small font and you may not notice it when you're done reading the main content of the message.

everytime i get a buddynfo@hotmail it comes to that email and buddynfo@gmail.com as you can see from the attachment is sent.

I'm not sure what you mean by " thunderbird only looks at the first part of the email". It looks to me like, as Stans suggested, you have the two email addresses signed up at Grammarly, or you have a forward/filter on one of the accounts copying the email to the other account.

all emails that come in on buddynfo also go to buddynfo@gmail.com.. here is another email i just got. both are the same and i only have one account for each.

You have a forwarding filter or rule in one of the accounts, or you've connected the two accounts so that messages from both accounts are accessed from one mailbox. Sign into Outlook.com using a browser and check your rules, connected accounts/sync and forwarding settings. Likewise, sign into Gmail and check for the those settings. One of them has a setting doing this and you may have set it up not knowing exactly what it meant. I assume this started only recently, so you can retrace your actions and undo what you did.

As you try other programs, check those settings as advised in my previous reply.

outlook only had one email come in. is the a place that thunderbird can forward all emails to another account. i can;t find it. i checked and the one that is in buddynfo@gmails says hotmail.com

there are no filters on the buddynfo@hotmail.com account

Are you referring to Outlook, the desktop email client that is part of MS Office, or are you referring to Outlook.com webmail? In Thunderbird, the only feature that I know could be doing this is a message filter. You can find the Message Filters option under the Tools menu, but I'm sure this is not Thunderbird's doing because the forwarded messages would have a "forwarded" text block appended to it.
