Deleting Duplicate emails

After importing email during a new OS installation, I went from about 200
email messages to over 4K! How do I delete any duplicates without losing
the original? Thanks!

Hi Spica,
If you have just a few duplicates, it may be easiest to manually remove
them. For emails, this is no problem but for any other Outlook item it is
easiest to view the items in a table view, then select the duplicates, then
delete them.

To accomplish this, go to View...By Category (or "By" anything really). This
gets the view into a mode you can work with. Click either names or subjects
(or any shown field) in the column header (in the gray area) to gather
similar items together. You can then delete all the duplicates you find
