Tempo, do you have your outlook express configured to leave mail on the server? Also be sure you don't have two lines in your account for your mailbox - >Tools>Accounts
I found the following on a google search...
If your default mail in OE is web based like Hotmail instead of a POP3 mail account than simply changing your default mail to a diferent account that is POP3 should fix it. Providing you have an alternate mail downloading into OE.

However there is another solution that worked for me also.
And that is to change one of two settings in OE. To do this open OE and go to Tools>Options and under the General tab
if you have both the, "When starting, go directly to my 'inbox folder" and the "Send and receive messages at startup" boxes checked then simply unchecking one or the other solved my problem also and let me keep Hotmail as my default mail.

If that did not fix your problem then you may have a damaged dbx folder. If so try the solution Microsoft offers here.

Hope this helps.

rouse01 is correct about Hotmail. If the Hotmail inbox is selected (being viewed). There are several thread about this that you can find if you use the keyword search to search for mail express twice and mail express duplicate.

With a pop3 mail account, about the only possibilities are the duplicate accounts and corrupt inbox.dbx that rouse01 mentioned.

I just tried to create a mail rule to duplicate incoming messages and OE won't let you do that, so that can't be it.
