OK, this should be a pretty good and stable version.
+ doveadm: Added "deduplicate" command to expunge message duplicates.
Hey Timo,
2 questions on this new 'deduplicate' capability of doveadm...
Obviously this could be scripted with a cron job, but I was wondering if it wouldn't make sense to do this automatically whenever messages are being moved around in the mailstore?
An interesting 'feature' of gmail is that if/when you are copying lots of messages from a non gmail account to a gmail account through IMAP, if the folder you are copying from contains duplicate messages, gmail will silently discard the duplicates after the first one is successfully copied up...
I discovered this a long time ago the first time I encountered an anomaly where I copied an entire folder, but the number of messages on the gmail account didn't match the number in the source folder. After comparing, I discovered that there were duplicates in the source folder, which accounted for the discrepancy.
Thanks,
