Works great for me on Thunderbird 60.4.0 (32-bit) on Windows 10. Thanks!
I've reduced my Thunderbird hard drive footprint by about half due to an enormous number of duplicates (I'm not sure what is causing these duplicates to occur. There were a huge number in my archive from 2018, much fewer in previous years).

After updating TB, I have problems to remove my douple messages. Is there a limit in mailbox size or number of messages in the mailbox? Smaller mailboxes are running, but my box with only about 7000 mails is simply stopping the TB and i have to restart. Prior to the update i had two Add-ons, which have done the job properly. Now I would be happy to learn how to fix it.

Works as advertised. Though … "Delete to Trash" means to Local Folders trash, not the account's trash. Also could do with an update to screenshots.

Enfor, to acquire the add-on, right click on the download button (not left click as you would for a normal download. This will give an option "Save link as". Then save it to a folder on your computer i.e. Download where you will remember it. Then go into the Add-on page for Thunderbird (or whatever program you are trying to add this to. There will be a gear icon near the top right of the page. Click on that and selct Install add-on from file. Then tell it the location where you saved it.

I am using this add-on on one computer, but when I try to download it now (tried on several computers) I get a message that says the file is corrupted and it will not download. ???

Unfortunately checkboxes for keeping messages still don't show up in the newest 0.61 version with my Thunderbird version of 52.8.
Otherwise it seems to work fine - finds duplicates across many folders.
A fix would be great, because now I have to delete the found copies manually in the folders.

I was saved by this plug-in saving my time.
Recently, it became TBver 60.0 b 6 and it could not be used
Because it was painful, self-responsibility, but were available to change the ".rdf".
It is use in win10 1803.
I carried out the mail about 20,000, but it ended before I finished writing this review.
Since multiple folders are also distinguished more precisely than each folder, they are always being rescued.
Thank you.

I played a lot with the settings and unfortunately I found still a lot mails as duplicate. They were the same, not attachements. Quite easy to find them even by eye. No idea why the settings don't work.
In some setting-cases the JavaScript stopped the work. Maybe it's my big postbox with ~10.000 mails (there are surely and easily much bigger possible) which is merged by some postbox versions which lead to duplicates or quadruplicates.
Then I tried the xpi-addin from Thorsten (which is warned as not compatible to current Thunderbird version). It serves more information and it's much more precise - AND it found all duplicates. Unfortunately you cannot resize the windows.
So my recommendation is - ask for the code of Thorsten and recode it for current thunderbird versions.

I wanted to cull out some RSS element based on their website ('content-base' header), but unfortunately that extension does not offers this as a criteria for fiding dups.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3.16).Nobody's requested this before; file a feature request and we'll see.
... having said that, Thunderbird might not be exposing this to me anyway.

Handled thousands of duplicates without problems. Thanks!

Didn't know how to use it. So I tried right clicking on a folder, and well there it is! It just works, and has exactly the right options. Went through 4000 messages in <1 minute, even when set to compare the message bodies. It displays a summary of the messages it found, grouped together. It lets you compare them. It lets you delete permanently or put in the recycle bin. Just perfect, thank you!

At first this app seemed to not work. I get dupes intentionally because I have gmail also reading my main mail account, partly to have a backup on another server, partly as a defense again false positive spam blocking. By changing the default setting to be only Author, Message ID, Sent Time, and Subject, it properly removes my dupes. Unlike another app for dupe reduction, this app does not leave my keyboard delete key disabled after running it. Your mileage may vary.

I suppose it might be a decent set of coding but it finds no dupes in my sent folder. Unchecked the selection in the dialog box. They're clearly there. Does not work.
__________________________________________
Thanks for the reply Eyal. On my installation the dialog box looks nothing like the one depicted on the linked page. I'd post you a picture but I don't think this is the right forum for even this type of conversation. As I said earlier, I have unchecked Skip Special Folders (Sent ...)--there is no selection for a positive "search special folders", only a Skip selection to be unchecked--and left all other check boxes checked. I don't know why I get duplicated messages in my Sent folder but, regardless, there are two of everything so it seems the application should not report that there are none. I'm perplexed.
You need to make sure to set the appropriate comparison criteria. If you were to compare your sent messages by send time, obviously there would be no duplicates since you don't send different messages at the same time.
And again - you'll need to enable searching special folders.

Leider werden nicht alle doppelten Mails gefunden. Ich habe verschiedene Einstellungen ausprobiert. Mir ist es nicht gelungen alle doppelten Mails zu löschen.

Sometimes, I have been receiving the same emails from one of my accounts. (T-T)
But I don't know that phenomena now.
By good luck, This program makes duplicate messages removed easily. (^^)

Very hepfull. But it is a great lack having no version for thunderbird 58.

I had a problem scanning my mails in different accounts (xxx@free.fr and yyy@free.fr). The solution is to select one account and then CTRL + mouse click on the second account (or/ and third...). It finds the emails that were sent to both accounts.
Thanks a lot for this extension which saves a lot of time and seems to be quite safe for the user. Sorry I had to give it a bad appreciation before to get in touch with Eyal Rosenberg. I'll try to remove it.
