Removing Duplicate Emails from Imported Messages

Hello.

I have imported messages from my Outlook Express 6 backup.
There are duplicates of each email in all folders.

What is the best way to remove these duplicates besides doing it manually?
I have searched for some software, like products from MAPILAB; however they
don't provide any software for Windows Mail.

Any suggestions on software or scripts that may remove these duplicates are
well appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

-BoBoBo

I don't know of one yet, but I'm sure one will be written before too long.

Re: Removing Duplicate Emails from Imported Messages

Maybe they would have an it incorporated with the Windows Mail itslef.
That would be nice wouldn't it?

I guess I can take it to XP Pro machine,get a duplicate email remover,
remove the dupicates, and re-export it back to Windows Mail. (in hopes all
goes well).

Thanks for responding.

Re: Removing Duplicate Emails from Imported Messages

My OEX (www.oehelp.com/OEX/) program does this for OE and it will be updated
to include such a feature for WinMail. I'm waiting until they get the code
solidified before trying to implement it.

Coming soon. <G>

Re: Removing Duplicate Emails from Imported Messages

Nice product Steve.
Maybe I should just wait it out, and live with duplicates for now.

I'll wait it out and live with duplicates for now
As long as I know the probelm will be resolved in the futuer.

How can I be aware when it comes out?
Check your site once a while?

Thanks Steve and Frank.
