Just turn on my desktop, and went to email and has 67 emails:eek: but it was mail i already has. It copy all the email i had in my inbox and resent them to me....Is this a sign??? thanks for any info
 
Is that a sign of what?

It's common for e-mails to be marked as unread ocassionaly, just delete them if you dont want to read them again.
 
Was this on an POP client or was this a web based email program? POP client could be a setting error, or just a regular error.
 
No these were emails that i have already read, and they were open...and then this morning there are new email of the same ones that i already read and open right below the old ones, and it's in POP Client...not a web based email program....Didnt know if this was a sign of a virus, and that why i am asking....but i went thru all the setting and nothing has changed...
 
I don't think this would be the sign of a virus, what would marking some emails as unread accomplish? Is it possible that when you attempted to delete them you accidently marked them as unread?
 
No thats what is funny i didnt delete most of them...they were still in the inbox, but i have read them already...then this morning...there are new emails of all the one's that i have already read, and some in the delete box as well....Never did anything else, just read them and left them....and then had 60 something new email, copys of all the old stuff that was read already. And in the inbox.....
 
When your POP client connects to the POP server it downloaded the most current emails. IF you dont have the options to "delete emails on web after download" this will happen. Should be on the options of the web client and online.
 
I've seen this happen with web mail while using outlook. I'm not so sure your mail client actually re-mailed them to you. A virus would do something like mail them to everyone on your list.

I'd just delete them and see if it happens again in the near future. If it becomes a recurring problem then check through all your settings.
