Nope, there is no way to delete duplicate emails in Evolution.

If you feel like this is a serious, missing feature, feel free to file a
wish in http://bugzilla.ximian.com.


However, I posted a script multiple times already on this list, to
remove duplicated emails (based in Message-ID header) using formail.

David Johnston, who last used it successfully, sent me some notes and
advances to this script. The original (quick) script does the job well,
but do *not* use it a second time on the same mails without removing the
msg-id cache.

I plan to post this script including Davids improvements -- but I won't
be able to do so in the next couple of days. If you can wait, I can do
this for next week (mid/end).
