How to remove duplicate Mails from Imap

[Denny Schierz]

hi,

i'm really sorry for my late answer.

Are they truely duplicates? Compare the Message-IDs of the two
messages.

The users told me wrong things. He has two imap accounts, one for
mailbackup and one real account. He moved mails from one to the otherbox
and something went wrong. The mails are not real duplicates, they have
diffrent TO: one to ***@domain.foo and and the other
***@domain.foo. So we need a tool to delete by subject/date etc.

but thanks for the reply :-)

hi,
we use a cyrus installation and it seems, that there are no imap client,
which can remove duplicate mails. Is there a nice way for a user? (via
web or windows client)

Are they truely duplicates? Compare the Message-IDs of the two
messages. If they *are* identical, then either duplicate delivery
suppression is disabled, duplicate delivery supression is broken for
some reason (corrupt deliver.db?), or the messages we're not inserted
into the mailbox via LMTP.

What version of Cyrus IMAP are you running? By default AFAIK Cyrus
removes duplicate mails anyway.

Older versions needed the -e option to deliver, iirc, to do it.
