275846 - tools to find and manipulate / filter duplicate emails

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Bernhard Vornefeld]

If you have a large collection of emails on different computers, duplicate
emails may accumulate. Currently mozilla and most other Email-Progs are lacking
tools to handle duplicates (One exception: current versions of Kmail).
This tool should have at least the following features

- find duplicates according to severeal criteria, e.g.
  - complete match
  - matching body, subject, ... and / or date

- search in one or several folders

- imap support

- actions:
 - count duplicates
 - select duplicates
 - filter duplictes
  - move to folder
  - move to trash 
  - delete

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
