I don't believe there is any simple method for doing this at this point 
in time - something that I've been asking for for ages...

In fact, this is the sole reason I have opted to dump Evolution and 
return to kmail - kmail (from version 1.61 onwards) has a "remove 
duplicate messages" option which seems to work pretty well - I've about 
5Gb of mail archives here and I've probably had 2 false deletions out 
of the whole  lot.

Surely it can't be *that* hard to implement ?  I mean, pinck the code 
from kmail if you must, but it seems to work well there, why not here ?
