Is there a possibility to delete lots of dotted emails?

O.K., Klaus, do you mean that when you send a e-mail out to someone,
you end up with two copies of the email in your 'Sent' folder?? Or is
it one copy in 'Sent' and one somewhere else??

There is an extension for Thunderbird and SeaMonkey that may solve your
problem: <http://removedupes.mozdev.org/index.html>.
Otherwise, how about this? Obviously, I haven't tested this exact procedure.
1. Select the smallest easily identifiable set of Sent messages that
includes all the possible duplicates ("replicas") and move those
messages to a new temporary folder.
2. Export 'all messages in folder' in EML format from the temporary
folder to a Windows filesystem directory.
3. Use a file de-duplication tool, such as "Duplicate Files Finder" or
one of the other tools listed here
<https://lifehacker.com/the-best-duplicate-file-finder-for-windows-1696492476>,
on the files in that directory, leaving only one copy of each exported
message.
4. Import 'all messages from folder' from the directory to a new mail
folder.
5. If you're happy with the resulting message list in the new folder,
move the imported messages to the Sent folder and delete the new import
folder and the temporary folder with its original messages. If not, move
the original messages back to the Sent folder and delete the temporary
folder and the new import folder with its unwanted messages.
If either the extension or step 3 fails because the apparently duplicate
messages are somehow not completely identical, you might be able to use
whatever is different to create a message filter that will separate one
copy of each duplicate.
