Lots of duplicate emails found - best, fastest & safest way locate & delete

Hi all
I have recently had cause to go back into some mailboxes ( old emails have been reappearing !! ) and found that a lot of my mail has several duplicates which are bloating the mailbox on me and local.
Does anyone know of a safe and quick way to locate duplicate emails and then delete them?
Any help appreciated.

Mail is version 4.5

Please keep discussion of this problem in the other topic. There would be insufficient info here for anyone to properly comment with the info in the other topic.
With an IMAP account, as MobileMe is, the Inbox and other folders reside on the server. Anything local is merely meant to be some temporary copy, but they could be the source of the behavior your are experiencing. You need to check the server to see if the Inbox there has in fact been bloated by duplicate messages.

    Java float; IEEE 754 single precision has 32 bits: 1 sign bit, 8 bits of exponent, 23 bits for the mantissa.
    Java double; IEEE 754 double precision has 64 bits: 1 sign bit, 11 bits of exponent, 52 bits for the mantissa.
    When you widen a float value to a double this is what happens to the bits

  • I have a lot of duplicate photographs in my library. how can i delete the duplicates automatically?

    I have a lot of duplicate photographs in my iPhoto library. It happened while our EIS were saving a computer breakdown, but now i would like to know how to selectively delete the duplicates, without doing it individually. That is, can I set up iPhoto to automatically search for and delete duplicate photographs in the library?

  • What is the best and safest way to unlock my iphone4

    i need to use my iphone 4 in australia- i am from the uk. my service provider say they will take 28 dates to unlock the phone, but i am travelling in 2 weeks. i need to know how to unlock the phone so i can use it on a different network in oz
    any advice very gratefuly received

    Phone shops cannot unlock they will hack the iPhone
    DO NOT DO IT
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
    You have no guarantee it will work and will likely trash your iPhone and you will not be able to update the iOS
    without relocking the iPhone, void the warranty and not get any support from Apple or this forum
    as I said either escalate in T-M or get it done anyway as I doubt it will take 28 days
    emphasis the work aspect

  • What is the best and safest way to clean our imac screen

    ok i'm sorry, i can wait _____ i  only mean the outside glass ___ i'm sure everybody
    has there own special way. ___ to date i don't have any ___  thank you papamike

    On a glossy screen iMac, work in small sections with a damp, but not drippingly damp, microfiber cloth or Q Tip, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth. Work in small sections only. Get the little eyeglass cleaning cloths from an optometrist. Only use water.
    Also, please use an ordinary size font. This looks like you're screaming.

  • Safest way to delete old account mailboxes

    my user > library > mail folder contains several folders & mailboxes relating to accounts which are no longer used. these accounts are not listed in the accounts prefs inside apple mail.
    is it safe to just delete these files in the finder ?
    thanks

    Yes, if you are sure you don't want any of those mails anymore, go ahead and delete those folders with Finder.

  • Duplicate Emails - Outlook 2007

    Hi
    We had configured Pop account in Outlook 2007 and set email remove from server after receiving to outlook. Also using BlackBerry Torch Device email. There was no problem with duplicate emails because no email on the mail server. Working both fine
    ( Office Outlook and BB Torch)
    Now we brought BlackBerry Z10 Device. Configured email account on it. If send email from sender first receive it on the BB device and when sync with Outlook all emails deleted from mail server. After deleting mail server it automatically delete from BB device.
    In short we are in trouble in both side. If set delete email after receiving in outlook then unable to see on BB. If want to see all emails on BB need to keep leave copy in outlook and duplicate emails receive problem. it's duplicate email issue
    is occur suddenly it may come after  2 months Or 6 months.
    Is there any connection with size of pst file for duplicate emails? Is there connection with location of pst file ( C:\........ OR different)?
    Please guide us for that we need to do.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Suhas

    Hi,
    Based on the description, if you receive emails on Outlook first, since the emails are removed from the server, you are not able to see the emails on your BlackBerry device. If you receive emails on your BlackBerry device first, you encounter the "Duplicate
    emails" issue.
    Is my understanding correct?
    Please kindly detail what it means by "Duplicate emails", does it mean you receive two same messages on the BlackBerry device?
    Try to re-setup the account on your BlackBerry device and test if you still get duplicate emails.
    If your ISP provides IMAP protocol, we suggest you setup the account via IMAP, which keeps the emails synced on all of your devices.
    For further support about your BlackBerry device, please contact BlackBerry support:

    Regards.

    Hi Jim,  I don't understand how this would help me in my situation.  I loaded an old project, selected the clip edits that I needed, and then loaded the new project and pasted those edits into it, thus creating a duplicate multi-cam sequence.
    Are you saying that before I paste, if I navigate to the old project in the media browser and import the multi-cam sequence into my project, Premiere will merge that with the exact same multi-cam sequence in my new project so that when I paste it won't create a duplicate?

  • How to remove duplicate emails in Mail

    Does anyone know if a good app that works in Lion that will help me remove duplicate emails in Mail?  There are some options on the web that I've found but they don't seem to work with Lion.

    I have found a very satisfactory solution to eliminating my duplicates in Apple Mail, which is to stop using it and switch to Thunderbird.
    There's lots that I like better in Apple Mail, but Thunderbird is light-years more flexible in managing your email than is Apple Mail, because Thunderbird is an open platform with excellent Add-ons available, which include the nifty Remove Duplicate Messages: http://bit.ly/tbird-dups. It is stupid that Apple Mail hides duplicate messages in the background & won't allow users to search and destroy them. Frustrating!
    As a prologue to that, you need the TB import export Add-on: http://bit.ly/tbirdimportexport
    Managing my mail locally on my Mac was a huge project for me, involving integrating tens of thousands of emails. Mail was  from gmail, yahoo, and many years of Outlook PST files.
    Now that the project is complete, I'm very happy with Thunderbird to manage my email archives. Though I actually would prefer the Lion Apple Mail interface for day to day use, it just isn't flexible enough.
