Tonight the inbox has been repeating all incoming emails 140 so far and still climbing. How do I stop this

Re: repeating messages
Dot you might not understand this but if you have a POP email setup you won't get them keep coming down. If you have a SMTP mail setup then you might get what you are seeing.
The difference is that once you check your mail, a POP setup will delete the copy from the ISP's servers. A SMTP will always keep a copy "up there".
If something goes wrong the SMTP server thinks you haven't got your mail so keeps sending it to you.
Advice? Just go grab a Gmail account & setup your Bigpond to forward all your mail to your Bigpond account.

Re: repeating messages
If set up right ... no.
The mail doesn't even go onto the Bigpond mail servers .... just immediately redirected straight to the Gmail account.

Re: repeating messages
You are ever so right Bruce 
might wait till we get into better coverage. We hope to be heading towards Mackay if I am feeling better. I reckon I got this "whatever" from the bug filled drs waiting room, with all the $$ they make surly they could afford a good filtration system.. Never felt this crook in ages
