I noticed something else that will do it as part of its normal behaviour. That's Gmail. Gmail deduplicates messages automatically, even if they have slightly different headers (like the same message coming from two different Yahoogroups). Which can be annoying sometimes. But, if you have a folder with lots of duplicate messages and a good broadband link, one easy (not quick, but easy) way to solve the problem is as follows: 1. Create a Gmail account. 2. Enable IMAP for the account. 3. Connect your mail client to Gmail via IMAP. 4. Move the folder with the duplicates to Gmail. 5. Move the folder back to its regular place. The part that takes a while is uploading everything to Gmail. Moving them back is fast. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
