Deleting duplicate mail messages

Has anyone devised a simple method of identifying duplicate mails in
a folder with a view to weeding them out?

In OE there are differences in the Account column I exploit.
So I can sort on that in two Find windows, tile them
and then scroll to the common entries, and delete only the
one which doesn't have an explicit Account name.

news:eF$q7LMwIHA.4560@xxxxxx Thanks, Robert. Yes, that is useful in cases where account data have
been lost (like for imported messages or those stored from an
account that has been removed and added back). But I acquire lots of
duplicates by other means, like copying from one folder to another
having forgotten that I already did it last week, so the duplicates
are identical in every respect other than the file name.

Sort by Subject, then delete dupes manually.
I don't know of any automated way to do this.

Thanks, Ildehund, but your reply does not answer the question. The files are
ALREADY in WLM where there are many dupes.

The question isn't how to eliminate dupes in OE, the question is how to
eliminate dupes in WLM.

You asked this..
"Does anyone know how to delete duplicate emails within the same WLM folder?"
The answer to your question was 'spot' on but provided by Gary M not Ildhund.

Ildhund asked the original question...Which inherently was not about deleting or preventing duplciates but the availability of a
'view' to remove them more easily.

Hi, Gary,

Ah, yes, delete manually. To do that, I had sorted by date and was just
deleting every other message. A no-brainer, easy way to do it, except, who
wants to do it a zillion times.

Shurely there must be some automated way to delete messages within WLM
folders. Amazing that there ain't. There are lotsa solutions for the same
problem in OE, that archaic, unstable, dangerous zombie thing.

Yes, but you can't compare the two in that regard. OE has been on the
market much longer than WLM. Give WLM another year or two, and
I'm sure there will be more add-ons.

Hi, Winston,

Well, what view would that be, exactly, that allows one to automatically
delete all the doubles?

Hi, Gary,

I guess we are pioneers. This is my first day with WLM and it utterly wipes
the floor with OE, I must say.
