Review for Remove Duplicate Messages by Eyal Rozenberg
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This extension has been effectively abandoned by its author for almost 2 years, without significant updates. It is also not free software, so the code cannot be used elsewhere.
For this reason I have fully rewritten a dupe removal extension of my own, which is actually free software:
Remove Duplicate Messages (alternate)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4654
It has seen more active development, has a richer feature set (which proerly includes the features of this extension) and for which issues can be opened on Mozdev's bugzilla and addressed within a reasonable amount of time.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
