I have my AOL email account set up on my iPhone 4, and I get duplicates of every email that I receive. It is really annoying me!

So when I open my email there is 2 of every one listed, and when I delete them I have to delete both of them.

Anyone else having this problem, or have any idea how I could fix it?!
 
Are you setting the AOL account to forward to another account that you are also checking on your phone?

Also, make sure you're not sending a copy to yourself. Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Alway Bcc Myself.
 
There's a trick that cures many woes with email. You may want to use it for yours.

Go to Settings > Mail. Disable your mail account and then re-enable it.

See if that fixes it.

No I don't have either of those things set up. And I am not getting duplicates on my mac, on the mac it works great.

Thanks though :)

I am pretty sure that I have tried that before, but I think it was on my old phone, so I will try it.

Thanks
