素晴らしい！
簡単です。そして、確実（Perfect ）に機能します。
（同様な機能を提供する「Remove Duplicate Messages」を使用をしていたが・・・）、この「Remove Duplicate Messages (Alternate)」では、①削除前に検索結果を表示できるうえ、②default 設定で、（重複メッセージの処理を）「完全削除」と「ゴミ箱へ移動」の二択から選択することができるので、（不意な削除を防止でき）安心です。③しかも IMAP and RSS accounts も管理ができるので万能です。
多言語（日本語）対応がなされ、機能に不足は無く、且つシンプルに構成されているので、解りやすく、スキル（技量）を問わずに簡単に使いこなすことができます。
重複メッセージの処理（削除）から解放される最良のアイテムとして、推奨します。

100s of duplicates after transferring 4 accounts from one provider to another. This smart little addon found them. Great Tool!

I can not thank developer enough for making such a useful addon. Only if there was a way to operate this addon through windows command line/cmd.exe, it would make life much much more simpler
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3.9).You are possibly looking for something like mbox-tools:
https://github.com/np/mbox-tools
which operates on Thunderbird's (highly dated) mail storage backend. I'm not sure if mbox-tools has dupe culling, though.

The key to making this add-on work perfectly is to adjust the comparison criteria so that you know the messages that match are truly the same as each other in spite of having small differences in the body, which can happen. Thus the number of lines could be SLIGHTLY different and the size might also. For example, you might have an extra NULL in one, or an extra <LF>. Make sure you have enough criteria so you are confident of the found matches. The tool is great.

Like the title says. Does what it's supposed to, and more quickly than expected.

After some experimentation, resolved the problem I experienced in my previous review. And as a result, upped the rating to 4/5 stars. Not 5 stars as that problem and its work-around are not obvious.
The problem is that when you first install the addon and try to use it (either before or after restarting Thunderbird 17.0.x), it does not detect POP account "Trash" folders properly.In the Duplicate Messages Deletion window that appears after detecting dups, at the bottom are the choices "Delete permanently" and "Move to...(drop down list of folder choices)". "Move to..." defaults to "Trash". But leaving that choice alone, it will not properly detect the Trash folder on the account you are detecting dups on, unfortunately. Which means dup messages get permanently deleted, even if you don't want them to be.
To avoid this problem, you first have to open the drop down list beside "Move to..." and manually select the Trash folder for the account you are detecting dups on. Then and only then will your dup messages get properly sent to Trash. In the future it will remain properly selected, so you only have to do it once. Don't know if you have to manually change it for every account you are working on, but I do so to be safe.
This is still a problem and still needs fixing, but at least there is a way around it until its fixed.
EDIT: replying to the author response below. Thanks for the response, but unfortunately you totally misunderstand what the problem is. I elaborated more in my original review linked to at the bottom of this post; might want to look at it.
The problem has _nothing_ to do with "detecting duplicates in trash". The problem is when detecting duplicates in the INBOX of a selected account, the "Move To..." selection defaults to "Trash" (of that account). And by default, it doesn't actually move your messages to there as you would expect. It instead wrongly permanently deletes them.
To work around this problem, you must manually select the "Move To..." folder (Trash or otherwise) for each account in the drop down list.
If you don't do that and instead rely on the default "Move To...Trash" location without adjusting anything manually, your mail gets permanently deleted out of the Inbox when you didn't want it to after pressing "OK". That's the problem.
Practically all users expect Trash folders to be skipped when looking for duplicates. This is both because dupes are usually deleted to the trash (incl. manual deletion), and because, more generally, whatever's in the trash is already not really part of your mailbox, it's deleted-but-undisposed-of. So, it would certainly not be a good idea to change this default behavior.
I understand you might like/expect something different, but you must recognize you're in the minority. For you (and others), there's the preferences dialog with which you can change such settings.

Just great! Used it to split messages I already had transferred in an aborted bulky transfer. Could resume just fine! :)
I'd donate if the donate functionality wasn't broken. After I fill in the amount and comment, the main page is grayed out but no paypal page comes up....
If for some reason the contribute link doesn't work (it works for me), then just email me and I'll send you a payment link.

This add on is a life saver. I depend in it a lot.
It will be awesome if it works automatically every period of time
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Saved my life, thank you _so_ much.
One suggestion. In Options, comlement the ability to compare "Number of Lines in Message" with the ability to compare "Number of Lines in Message _Body_". That way when we have two messages with a different number of headers, we can ignore the difference.
