Delete duplicates
I have been working with MailSmith lately, almost made it to a total switch, but I decided to switch back to PowerMail after all. There is one feature which really is great, and what I think would have to be AppleScriptable. (I think Mailsmith uses quite some AppleScripts in its internals): Move Duplucate Messages to Trash. It filters on Message-Id, which is embedded in the full headers of each mail message. It is a great wat to clean up after imports, or messed up POP-servers. I have just gone out and bought some AppleScripts manuals to teach myself what is necessary to do this myself, but. Is there anyone (Wayne perhaps) who has this script available, or some pointers?

Delete Duplicates
I myself got thousands of duplicates from PM when it wouldn't sync the message count from certain servers and I left them on there. I set it to delete postfetch, but the damage had been done. I set out to make a delete duplicates script for PowerMail as I couldn't find any. In the end I translated Paul Berkowitz "Delete Imported Duplicates X" for MS Entourage instead. It seems to work fine. However, I'm planning to add a process bar and some other message stuff to it before release to a PM script site. I could use some betatesters for feedback on this script. Anyone interested should contact me offlist. Also, any other scripters interested in sharing experiences scripting PM are equally welcome to contact me offlist.

delete duplicates script?
Is there any way I can delete exact duplicates in the mail database? I looked for script solutions and found only Wayne Brissettes site working and no such script there. Aren't there more repositories? I guess I could adapt a script for another platform, but I'd rather not.
