Hi Eddie, EC> Sometimes I get from some Account the eMail double. So I need to EC> issue the 'kill duplicate' command every now and then. It's a bit EC> work as I don't want to use 'kill dupes in all folder'. Some folders EC> have duplicates that should not be deleted.
EC> So I'm looking for the possibility of let my Filter (or regex) do the EC> work. This is my idea: EC> when a eMail comes in and is filtered to the right folder the next EC> filter (or regex) would then check if this one exist already. If EC> *yes* delete it if *no* leave it as is. EC> Does anyone have an Idea if this will work?? Yes, an idea, but I didn't test or try it. You'll need two filters. Filter 1: extracts message ids from every single incoming mail into a text file (append to an existing file using a template with regexp to get message id) This file then looks like: ,----- [ Message-IDs in file ] | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [...] '----- But this file can get large... Filter 2: is a selective download-filter that checks the headers and kills mails on server if message id was found in file. I can't say anything about performance etc. but actually this filtering seems like a job for your mail server. I wouldn't do it with TB!. -- HTH + best regards, Carsten The Bat!
