Does your operating system have the formail command? I think most unix variants do. If mbox1 is a mail file containing duplicates, the command formail -D 8192 <cachefile> -s < mbox1 > mbox2 will produce a file mbox2 with the duplicates removed. If mbox1 is very large and some of the duplicate messages are far apart, you may need to increase the size of formail's cache of message ids from 8192 to some larger number. See the formail man page for an explanation of the command. Cachefile is just some temporary file that you designate. Hope that's useful.
