Multiple Copies of Same Message
 

While searching for a specific email, I happened to notice that I have six (6)
copies of every email in my "Local Folders"! I have no clue as to how these
duplicates got there, but is there any way to remove them other than the obvious
way - removing them one-by-one?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your reply - I'll give it a try! But, how did these duplicates get
there in the first place? Something I did in a backup process, or what? I use
OEBackup occassionally. Could this be the culprit? Now that I think about it, if
I backup into the same directory, maybe it doesn't have the capability to
recognize a duplicate!

I've seen a problem with multiple e-mails being downloaded, but not
multiplying by themselves after they were downloaded. The link below will
explain that. I don't use OEBackup, but I would check if the way you are
doing it is the way it is recommended.
