Deletes two messages at a time?

  • Follow


When in Windows Live Mail, I press Delete and it deletes two messages at a 
time, instead of just one.  This just started happening - the most recent 
installation I've done is IE8.  

Running Windows XP SP3, IE8, Windows Live Mail.

Anyone know what's going on?  Thanks a lot.

Windows Live Mail version ?
Type of account - Pop3, IMAP, or Http(Hotmail type account using DeltaSync server) ?
Deletion in an account folder, Storage folder, or Quick Views(All Inbox, All e-mail etc) ?

Fyi...WLM has an option to view messages by conversation. When viewing in Conversation mode the message subject will show as the first line item, followed by the individual messages. Selecting the Subject and pressing delete will wipe all messages in the conversation thread.

This is unlikely to have anything to do with WLMail.  However, 
you might have a hardware problem (such as a sticking delete key 
or a bad contact on your keyboard).  Alternatively, you might 
need to adjust the keyboard settings in Win XP.

I recommend you perform a few tests which hopefully, will 
establish whether this is a simple hardware issue.  Probably, the 
best test is to turn off your computer, connect a different 
keyboard and re-boot.  If that solves the problem, look no 
further.

If the problem persists with a different keyboard, place your 
cursor in the middle of a word processing document - and press 
the delete key once.  Does it delete one, two, or more 
characters?  If it deletes multiple characters, you might need to 
adjust your keyboard settings in Win XP.

Open Control Panel and click on Keyboard, to display various 
adjustment options.  It might help, if you reduce the character 
repeat rate and/or increase the repeat delay.

Alternatively, you might have enabled some of the accessibility 
functions of Win XP.  You can click on Control Panel 
/Accessibility Options to enable, disable or adjust these 
functions.  There is a detailed fact sheet at

could cause these symtoms.Does the delete key , perhaps.
