A script to remove duplicate messages from Mail.app
Authored by: pisej5 on Dec 29, '03 03:17:42PM

I installed these mail scripts and tried out the "Remove duplicates..." script, but unfortunately it generates an error (AppleEvent timed out -1712) while loading the mailbox hierarchy and Mail.app hangs after this. Have anybody had the same experience? I'm trying this running Panther on a Cube.

Yes, known - working on a fix/work-around

Yes, this is a known problem (however, it doesn't occur for everyone...)

I am currently re-writing the "Remove Duplicates" script completely and this issue should hopefully be gone with the new version (it is not a problem of the code used but some nasty AppleScript/AppleEvent caused race problem/race condition)
