doveadm deduplicate commands

[Kevin Laurie]

Dear Jiri,

I tried the following to try to get the inbox deduplicated. My inbox is
quite large and urgently need to remove the duplicated messages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Sorry for being so presistant but I need help.

The command I tried:-

 doveadm deduplicate -u user at domain.net mailbox inbox
