I can use tools to find duplicate Message-IDs, but don't know of a way to remove duplicates in mailboxes that are already imported as opposed to incoming mail.  Perhaps there is a way to use the IMAP protocol for this?

     i've used console tool named fdupes to find duplicate messages on 
Maildirs. That's done directly on the filesystem, there's no IMAP or 
dovecot involved.

     for a user way of doing that, i've used the excellent Thunderbird 
add-on called 'Remove Duplicated Messages'

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/956

     it's SUPER fast and can check parameters that fdupes cannot. In 
fact fdupes search for duplicated FILES while the add-on can be 
configured to really find duplicated MESSAGES, based on Message-ID and 
other things.
