I’ve somehow gotten a mailbox full of duplicate items and have been trying to find some automated way of cleaning it up.
Things that did not work, probably because I have approx 50,000 messages in the messed up folder and I blew their little minds (stacks) . . .
Mail Scripts for Apple Mail
MAPI Labs OutLook plugin for Deduplication
What appears to be working is delIMAPdups.pl.
Yeah, its perl. I hates perl almost as much as I hates Elves.
However, if a perl thing works and I do not need to edit or maintain the code, I’ll use it on a one-off basis.
$ ./delIMAPdups.pl -S mymailserver/myaccount/mypassword -m Inbox.ScrewyFolder -M Inbox.Trash -d
So far it has found 10,000 dupes in my 50,000 item archive.
