Yes on the multiple email accounts And no, on ISP based account... I have the following type accounts. I have my domain in which my emails end with @CWM030.COM And then I have my @MSN.com account in which my domain host uses to send me emails in case getting hacked, to let me know that there's going to be a scheduled outtage is going to occure etc. And reciept's when I pay my yearly dues. > If that is the case, the simplest solution is to forward the mail > arriving in to your MSN to the mail account supplied to you by your > ISP. > That way you can just use the ISPs IMAP server to get all your mail. > Don't forget on the forwarding setting in MSN to deleted the original > message once forwarded, unless you want a back up. You should end up > with no duplicates then. I was doing at one time actually.... I was having my domain pick up emails from the accounts I hardly use now days.. AOL, etc etc.... But, for some reason I stopped doing that. You see I keep an archive of EVERY EMAIL that comes in and every email that gets sent.... And I also keep the emails sorted by years. I keep EVERYTHING, like I don't even care if it was an email from facebook, twitter etc. I kept it. For the just in case I need to reference back to something some day. Back when I was archiving all accounts into one place.... Which means I was doing what you basically said... Forward everything to 1 address etc. What I use to do was everything I read from my domain, AOL, MSN, GMAIL was read, replied and delt with and then also archived to a folder by year and if it was inbound or outbound as seen here https://imgur.com/a/2XcGQWb And then, something clicked one day in me and decided that I just wanted to keep everything pure. STUPID MISTAKE! Ugh I feel sick to my stomach now... I went though all of my archive folders and deleted everything that wasnt addressed to @cwm030.com I deleted emails that were addresses to @yahoo.com or @msn.com or @aol.com @hotmail.com etc. I should of just kept doing what I was doing.... Just archiving everything to one place. It's too bad, I don't have any backup's from a couple months ago that I could restore and all of those emails from the @yahoo.com or @msn.com or @aol.com etc. would be restored. > > > So although you can externally filter messages to find duplicate > message bodies, its more efficient to stop the duplicates at source. > I've tried Chris to put this as simply as I can so you can understand > it. > > Thank you :) Chris _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
