I have had this problem occur several times over the past few years (including TODAY). I have had it using windows 7 and 10 and on Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail.
Today (12/2/17) I found 2600 old email messages in my inbox. They appear to be all the messages I have received since 10/3/17. They all appears as unread and become duplicate messages when I have retained the originals in my inbox.
They don't appear to be coming from a local source like my deleted file since messages that I have not moved to the deleted folder are also included in the 2600. Also, my deleted folder goes back farther than 10/3/17.
I attempted to find the "filter and forwarding settings" that Devante refers to. I'm using Windows Live Mail and can't find them. I did find Delivery options under Cox Properties Advanced. It is set to "Leave a copy of messages on Server" and to "Remove from Server when deleted from "Deleted Items"". I am going to enable "Remove from Server after (10) days" in hopes of minimizing this problem in the future.
Good luck figuring it out.
