Download 2500 mails, using f.ex spamassassin as commandline filter. Evolution then is killed for one reason or the other after having downloaded 1800 mails. Next time evolution start you start downloading mail 1/2500 AGAIN :-(. Thus I have more than 1000 duplicate emails filtered into several separate folders with filtering enabled - a big task to manually remove.Sounds to me like you don't really want a "remove duplicates" command, you just want us to fix the bug that evolution will redownload the same messages more than once in some situations.
Well, I think the solution is two-fold. It should be possible to display in a separate window (after asking for it) every mails which have duplicate message-id, and then select which of those one wants to delete. Like what happened just now with the mail I'm currently answering to. I got one directly into my inbox, and one filtered automatically into the evol mailinglist subdir. I don't want them both for later on, but have no intention about running after these messages and delete them manually the time. Secondly, the POP3-thingy is absolutely something one should look more into :-) - that is not to be considered a bug, but a not-so-advanced pop3-implementation that can be fixed without too much trouble (expunge mails on pop3 server for example each 50 mails, for example, or even some logic based on downloaded messages on client side?). Just my two norwegian kroner. Thanks in advance. -- Jakob Breivik Grimstveit, http://www.grimstveit.no/~jakob, +47 48298152
