Have used Live Mail on my laptop without problems for 2 years, but am suddenly getting same emails delivered over and over again. I am having to delete literally hundreds of mails each time I go in.

Each time mail is delivered now, it delivers one or two new emails plus loads of copies of emails already received.  It always ends with an error (see below).  I had the laptop set up for me when I bought it and I know very little about it so I would appreciate any replies in the simplest terms possible!  Thanks.
