On another topic, is there an easy way to eliminate duplicated messages
in a mail file? I managed to get duplicates downloaded, I believe by
deleting messages via webmail and seamonkey polled before I finished the
job.
I'm unaware of any add-ons done for that purpose, but...
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.
Good to see that the OP posted back saying he found a suitable add-on at
mozdev to do what he wanted done!!
I'd be somewhat worried with carrying out your suggestion, MCBastos, as
I would be worried about giving any web site access to all my e-mails.
But, of course, it may be that gmail (and others) are totally honest and
would not use information contained with-in my e-mails for any un-toward
purposes!!
