A script to remove duplicate messages from Mail.app
Authored by: wpdv on Dec 27, '03 11:12:34PM

When I first installed Panther 10.3, Mail went nuts. The number of messages in my mailbox began rapidly changing before my eyes. I immediately called my web master, and he said everything appeared to be normal on his end, and that this problem was only with my account. He is a "Mac" man, and suggested that the problem was a bug with the new release. Before I ended the several minutes call, I had 107 messages in my mailbox!

The only setting I had changed in Mail after I had installed Panther, was selecting the box in: Mail Accounts>Advanced>Remove copy from server after retrieving a message>to "After one day".

I changed the setting from "After one day" to "Right away".

I thankfully haven't had this problem with Mail since.

I hope this helps someone. (:P)
