Hello Wayne,

No, I use this feature all the time. Kill Dupes in all folders only
deletes duplicates in *one* folder, then goes and checks the next
folder. So, for example, I have all TBUDL mailing list go into folder
"TBUDL". After I read it, I have a read filter that then copies this
message into "TBUDL Archive". So these two folders *always* have
duplicated messages if the two were compared.

On this list for example, I seem to get a couple of duplicates a week.
They are from random people, so it could be because of strange routing
problems, bad connections to my mail server, and a multitude of other
reasons.

It would be nice to have the *option* of selecting which duplicates to
delete. However, the program has not killed any unintended messages
on me yet, so I'm reasonably confident that there isn't an urgent need
for such a feature. But if you feel strongly about it, make your
request, and the developers can decide how important they feel such a
feature is with respect to all the other things on their To Do lists.
