Description

It would be nice to have a feature that could mark/remove duplicate e-mails based on message-id. In a first step, just filtering within the current mailbox would be enough, later on a global message-id database containing all message-ids for all messages stored in all mailboxes on all accounts would be a logical extension.

Syncing to Gmail in particular seems to create the occasional rash of duplicate messages - with identical Message-ID: headers. It would seem relatively straight forward to de-duplicate them. There is a perl script to do this <​http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/#delIMAPdups> and a plug-in for Thunderbird <​https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4654> which might do the trick, but it would be a nice feature to have within Mulberry.
