 * Hi
 * I have just recreated a site for our village newsletter, that worked flawlessly
   5 years ago. Everything is up-to-date and emails are being imported.
 * However rather than importing 1 copy of each email as a draft post, I am getting
   100s of copies imported. I’ve set Postie to import daily.
 * There are 9451 posts sitting in my Post Bin after spending an hour deleting the
   dupes. It would be good to solve this!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultiple-copies-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Are the emails the same couple over and over again or is it the whole history
   of your inbox?

 * Hi
 * The whole history – set not to delete as the editor needs ready access separately.
   Too many copies to account for the daily fetch either.

 *  If you have Postie set not to delete it will import things over and over kind
   of by definition. 
   If you need access to the emails, you probably should set 
   up a forwarding rule to the Postie email account rather than trying to dual usage
   the same one
