Folder duplication

My wife and I both own playbooks.  Recently, both of our playbooks started doubling up folders in our email.  In other words, there are 3 inboxs, 3 sent, 3 trash, etc.   It seems to be re downloading folders.  As there does not seem to be a function to delete these extra folders, the only means of eliminating them is to uninstall and reinstall these email accounts.  This works for a while but eventually these empty folders return. Any idea what might be causing this and how to rectify it would be greatly appreciated.

I got off work this morning and some of my Hotmail account ahve 5 and one of them has 6 copies of each folders, and I can not send any e-mail messages in any of the folder using the Playbook since that started a few weeks ago, because then the messages are only on the Playbook and if I use the normal access to Hotmail they are not in the folder at all unless I can guest which one is the one that belong to the real Hotmail

Re: Folder duplication

My provider uses hotmail servers to process email.  This may be a hotmail problem then.  M.hotmail.com has been having problems lately.  Yesterday I could not reinstall my email using that server and had to use blu-m.hotmail.com to reinstall.  I was then able to reinstall but it did not rectify the duplication problem.

Re: Folder duplication

This has been previously reported. RIM is working on a solution. No time frame has been announced.

 Good(ish). As there has not been a change to the os for some time i presume this ANNOYING duplicating of folders and change of mobile servers is hotmail being bloody minded again.  Or did they tell RIM but the tech guy was off skateboarding?

Re: Folder duplication

Good to know it's being looked at, as it is really annoying.

Re: Folder duplication

This is ridiculous.  Today, except for my outbox, each folder is duplicated nine times.

Re: Folder duplication

I see that Microsoft is changing Hotmail to Outlook.com, maybe this is why there is a lot of problems with the Hotmail service lately.
