It's worth it. And yes, it's worth upgrading to 2.0 too, if your Gnome version is sufficiently recent. ;) > > Apart from that there are other possibilities to delete duplicate mails > > not bound to Evolution.

Will anyone shed some light?

I just searched my archives. For the script itself and a couple of warnings, caveats and notes, please read this link (maybe the whole discussions) and all links mentioned there. http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2004-May/037188.html Use it at your own risk.

Any comments...Guenther?...Anybody? fetchmail, procmail, IMAP here, works great. You can filter dups on the fly using the one formail command as a receipe in procmail, but fetchmail itself should take care of not downloading the same bunch of messages twice, even on a flaky connection. ...guenther (out for some days) -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
