I have and it does work. |

Especially handy when merging dealing with mailboxes created by importing PST- |
| 25 |
files. (For the uninitiated, these are files created by Outlook to store |
| 26 |
archived emails locally) |

Often, emails are duplicated over multiple of these. Simplest solution: |
| 29 |
1) Move them all into a single folder |
| 30 |
2) Tell Kmail to remove duplicates |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I've managed to quickly clean up large amounts of duplicates without loosing a |
| 33 |
single real email. |

(Emails from my wife, if one would have been missing, I'd have heard it by |
| 35 |
now....) |
