    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.

    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.

    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>

    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.
