manage duplicate e-mails?

Nikolai Franke

hello all. Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicate e-mails (there are
quite a few in my folders, due to migration to mail and back, importing
etc.; I know i could have avoided it, but hat would have been much effort,
too . . . ) ­ mail.app offers to automatically remove duplicate mails, but i
haven't found such a feature in entourage yet, and help doesn't help in this
case, but maybe there's something I miss?

thanks a lot

There are many scripts that extend Entourage features. The first place to
search is Script Builders <http://scriptbuilders.net/>. The Favorite Scripts
Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/script/fav_scripts.html> is also a good
place to find useful scripts. Most scripts are free.

Delete Imported Duplicates (Entourage) 1.2

<http://files.macscripter.net/ScriptBuilders/Entourage/delete_imported_dupes

This script will quickly delete duplicate messages even from enormous
folders such as the Inbox.

See my scripts page <http://homepage.mac.com/barryw/scripts/scripts.html>

There is a script there called 'remove duplicates'

This will remove duplicate messages from any selected folder.

Thanks Diane and Barry. I chose Barry's script, because I run Entourage
2004, and Paul's script is made vor X (at least, so it says). It seems to be
running fine.

Just FYI, virtually all scripts for Entourage X, including that one, will
also work in 2004. (Not necessarily vice versa.) Nothing was taken away in
2004.
