try this-

require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $subject = 'WebForm';
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $body = $_POST['message'];
    $mail = new PHPMailer;
    // $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
    // print_r($_POST);
    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
    $mail->Host = "smtp.office365.com";
    $mail->Port = 587;
    $mail->Username = "person@emailaddy.com";
    $mail->Password = "password";

    $mailto = "person@emailaddy.com";
    $mailfrom = "person@emailaddy.com";
    $mail->SetFrom($mailto, '');
    // $mail->AddReplyTo($mailfrom, 'email');
    $address = 'person@emailaddy.com';
    $mail->AddAddress($address, "My Addy");

    $mail->Subject  = $subject;
    $mail->AltBody  = $body;
    $mail->MsgHTML($body);
    if(!$mail->Send()) {
        echo 'Message has been sent';
    }
}

the mail sending function was outside of the if condition with $_POST check. So it was sending mail everytime it is refreshed.
