Over 10,000 Self Duplicating Emails During Set-Up

Susan Matthews

When I transferred my Comcast Emails into Entourage they started
self-duplicating leaving me with over 18,000 emails. When I contacted
Microsoft they said there's nothing I can do other than physically delete
each one. Is there anything else I can do to streamline removing duplicate
emails?

To get rid of duplicates use one of the scripts to remove duplicates.

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/duplicates.html>

Remove Duplicate Messages Author: Jolly Roger (This script takes a lot more
time than the other scripts. With that many duplicates ou might want to try
another script.)

This script uses a thorough method of examining message
headers that guarantees it won't mistakenly mark two messages that
happen to have the same subject as duplicates.

I've used them all with no problems.
