Changed to new settings now getting old emails back?

I rec'd 3 emails about changing my setting (I'm using Windows Live Mail), then today they called so i finally changed it..so now i am getting looks like every email that i have ever received back into my inbox, i delete them and they come back over and over, i had over 1500 emails i deleted and now its almost back to that again. Will this stop once they all come back? or is there something that i need to do to stop it? Thanks

Not sure why you are getting old email back. Probably your device/pc thinks its a new account.

DON"T CHANGE IT BACK. They are activily shuttdown accounts on the old servers and retiring them. If they haven't already gotten to yours they will eventually.

We got the same message and robocall and decided they were phishing so we have ignored them.

Thanks...just turned on my computer for today and only got new emails, so must have been some glitch.
