[Evolution] »Remove duplicate emails« selects what message for deletion of the duplicates?

[Paul Menzel <paulepanter users sourceforge net>]

Dear Evolution folks,


for some reason my whole POP3 inbox, where messages are not deleted
after being fetched, was downloaded again and therefore I had several
duplicates.

Before I had replied to some of these messages and these were marked
with the red arrow for reply. The newly fetched duplicates were all
marked as unread.

Selecting all messages and using ÂRemove duplicate emails now removed
duplicates but I could not find a deterministic behavior. Some of the
unread (newer) messages were deleted and some of the already replied to
(older) messages were deleted.

Is there a way to select which messages should be chosen for deletion?
In my situation it looks like it would be good to default to delete the
newly downloaded messages. But in any case either the meta data which
message were replied to should be kept somehow.

Maybe this can be discussed here first and then I will submit a bug
report to the bug tracking system Bugzilla.


Thanks,

Paul
