@Eyal,

Thank you for rewriting this extension Eyal so that all may enjoy the simplicity it affords us, and the time it saves keeping our email folders clean and uncluttered because of excess duplicates. This is a can't-live-without ext'n! A must have for anyone with any amount of emails.

For those of you who don't realize what Eyal has done here, and the gift given us, read the mozdev page http://removedupes.mozdev.org/ .

Thank you Eyal for reviving this ext'n. ;)

Regards,
BigThunder1

This extension makes Thunderbird as efficient for me as the text clients I'd become so used to. Every serious user should install it.

I too would like there to be an automatic deletion option. Is this hard to code? I would think an option to automatically delete emails is standard issue for an add-on like this.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3). 

It is not possible at this point in time to perform automatic removal of incoming dupes - the Mozilla API infrastructure does not allow this. Furthermore, even had it been possible, it would have been non-trivial in the least to do this effectively with respect to both time and memory space.

The plug-in works is fine. However, there are problems with localisation in Russian version 2.0.0.16. If to press on a folder the right button, the plug-in name is displayed, as " ".

Плагин работает замечательно. Однако, есть проблемы с локализацией. В русскоязычной версии 2.0.0.16, если нажать на папке правой кнопкой, название плагина отображается, как " ".

The program works correctly and has helped me eliminate duplicates, especially after mail has been downloaded onto two computers and then is merged.
It did not eliminate duplicates in the merged Sent folder, which is by design. I reported it as a bug and within an hour Eyal told me to set a parameter (removedupes.allowed_special_folders) to have the Sent folder also scanned.

He deserves 5 stars plus 1 more for responsiveness.

Amazing add-on. Worked perfectly for me! In addition it lets you check which email it will delete or keep with a very simple user interface.
Suggestion: It would be great to be able to open the emails from that interface (in case you have doubts about which message to keep) or implementing a "twin" reading pane to compare messages before deleting... (just an idea. In any case the add-on works perfectly now)

If you click a message in the dupe review dialog, it comes up in the 3-pane window (the main Thunderbird window).

This worked after a few tries where the old extension failed: 24000+ messages where 90% were duplicates.

0.3 seems to work for me. Even found some message more than the original version. And finally I'm able to permanently delete the messages, Thx a lot!

Great extension, but this new update makes a ridiculously long right click context menu.

What's this

"Set original message folder(s) for next duplicate search" ???

Back to the previous version for me.

The phrasing is a bit awkward, but I couldn't find a way to make it both shorter and clearly understandable. I'll try to shorten it somehow.

Great! I still have one recipient that has duplicates entries but at least I got rid of all the others. Great Job. Is there a way to put your extension (change the name for istance) to make it more visible for people looking for a real answer to this annoyance ?
Thanks a lot

I tried the original "Remove Duplicate Messages" add on to attempt to remove about 2 thousand duplicates in a large IMAP folder after a mail migration. A horrible experience when it actually started creating multiple emails in the trash IMAP folder - 48 thousand of them until I had to forcibly kill TBird!!

Installed this alternate one and it had many more features, and quite simply just worked! Excellent - thank you so much!

I did get a "script has stopped responding" error which I just clicked continue through, but no complaints from me.

I really like this add-on, and seems extremely fast as long as the message body is not included.

I just wanted to add to the "keep deepest" message. It does seem that when one sorts by folder, a shallower folder will always precede a deeper folder. However, it would be great to get a confirmation of this, since then one could be quite confident that sorting by folders and keeping the last message would result in keeping all the painstakingly sorted messages one has, and deleting the ones that one has redownloaded into the inbox.

First off, a great big thanks! I agree, its much faster than the original. There is one missing feature... The ability to search or select sub-folders first. I have many duplicates between organized folders and my sent folder (among others!). This can certainly be worked around manually, but it would be great if there was a method to prefer "deeper" sub folders over higher level folders. Nonetheless, thanks a million for reviving this extension!

... as the folder traversal is asynchronous. I'm even hoping to parallelize it with some background threads, if Javascript threading becomes more usable. So there's no 'first' and 'last'.

What you could do is choose to display the folder column in the review dialog and sort by it.

Works perfectly here without stability or performances problems so far. Feature request: is there a way to silency run this plugin when getting new mail ?
