Dear Jiri,
I tried the following to try to get the inbox deduplicated. My inbox is
quite large and urgently need to remove the duplicated messages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Sorry for being so presistant but I need help.
The command I tried:-
doveadm deduplicate -u [email protected] mailbox inbox
I'd try this (in shell):
doveadm search -u [email protected] mailbox inbox | wc -l
Doveadm will print mailbox-guid and uid pair for every message in inbox,
one per line, pipe it into "wc -l", which will count the lines and
output a number - that's the count of messages in INBOX.
Then try doveadm deduplicate and after that the search command above
again. If the count changed, deduplicate is working - you may only need
to run it multiple times.
If the count doesn't change, dovecot is unable to recognize duplicates
in your mailbox and you need to find another solution. Maybe check out
the "-m" option in man doveadm-deduplicate
