I had just recently tried to setup IMAP thru googles new IMAP service and noticed all of my email disappeared from google. Thankfully I made a backup prior to messing with this IMAP feature.

After importing all of the email (messing up the import several times) from my Backup, I literally had multiple copies of emails everywhere! My filters were going bonkers trying to sort all this email. It was going to take me hours to go thru and find all the duplicates by hand.

I did a search for any duplicate email remover and found this wonderfull thunderbird Add-on. After I installed it, I right clicked my "Local Folders" folder and clicked Remove Duplicates, This couldn't have been any simpler!

This really should be a feature built into all email clients, but especially thunderbird.

You have saved me sooo much time, you have no idea!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

You're the best!
