Anyone ever found a reliable way to do this?

It sure would be nice if dovecot could perform this on a per account and/or per maildir/mailbox case with a simple doveadm command...

The basic question is: what is a duplicate?

I spot 100% duplicates within the same Maildir mailbox with a script similiar to "fdupes" http://linux.die.net/man/1/fdupes .
Because an user may copy messages around, I scan one mailbox at a time.

For some rare cases, where I merge two accounts, I use a script, that looks for the message id in one account and removes all messages with the same id in the other account. Than I merge the Maildirs.

However, neither script I would call general enough for automatic processing.
