That would again result in the duplication of the email twice of end number of times.

If you are using an alternate email id then you will have the same account configured two times and all the emails from the alternate account will be received in the one inbox.in other words, the mailbox will be common for 2 accounts.

When the multiple accounts in Outlook are configured, keep in mind that you segregate each account not only the alternate for the same Outlook mailbox. When the multiple e-mails are received, all the emails will be checked right from the beginning of the first rule again. You also have to keep in mind that the “stop processing more rules” will be effective only on the current emails which have been checked. Hence it would stop any kind of duplication. If you want to get rid of this problem then you have to give another commend, that is ‘stop processing more rules’ if you will set this rule then while you will receive the email it will be applied to the same. Thus both the rules will apply to the email and it will move out of the inbox twice which will create the duplication of the email. Now suppose that you have received the email the with word ‘Outlook’ in the subject.

Apply it post receiving the message in Outlook in the subject move it to the Outlook folder.

You have to Apply this rule once you receive the message from any XYZ now set the command ‘move to folder’.

In this example there are two rules configured I would explain this problem by taking a very easy example. Once you receive an email the copy of the same directly moves to the folder. Sometimes we set specific commands in the outlook like ‘ Move to folder’. Let’s discuss each cause of duplication one by one- Putting a Rule Command in the Outlook. In this blog, I will be discussing the root cause of the problem, ways to deal with it and giving useful tips to deal with the problem –

One has to keep deleting the mails to avoid any confusion in the future.

You not only receive one duplicate email but multiple duplicate emails many times. Sometimes it is because of the settings, at times because of the technical complexities. Receiving duplicate mails is a very common problem in Outlook.
