[pmmail-list] How to stop duplicate messages

[Larry Alkoff]

Using PMMail Professional v2.20.2711 under Windows 98.

I have found that many times a download of several hundred messages will stall
at a single message and does not complete.  This may be some kind of server error.

When this happens and I re-download the mail, the messages I previously got are duplicated
leaving me the chore of hand deleting the dupes.  Sometimes I have gotten 3 or 4 stalls
which leads to that many duplicates.

It seems that, although PMMail reports it is deleting each message from the server
right after it downloads them, it must actually simply be _flagging_ the messages
for deletion.  When the entire download stalls, it never gets to the physical delete part.

The duplicates message all have the same date, time and text and _may_ be identical except for
the PMMail assigned file name.

Is there any way to programatically delete the dupes?

Thanks,
Larry Alkoff
