Multiple Imap Folder Problem

[shrubman]

Hello all,

I've just discovered that I have numerous data files for the same IMAP
account; some old, some more recent, with many of the messages
duplicated in more than one of the folders. There are also messages
that appear in only one of the folders.

I'm not sure how this came to be, but I need to fix it. Is there any
way to "synchronize" and combine these into one folder and get rid of
the others?

Thanks

remove the account and start new. IMAP messages reside on the serer so, at
your next synch, the local file should be repopulated.
