Delete copies of imported emails from OE 6

I have a new computer and have been transferring from OE 6 to Outlook 2007.
During the process of trying to migrate everything, I managed to import my
messages from OE 6 three times and now have triplicates of my messages. I
was trying to get the address book and got the messages two more times by
mistake. For some reason, cancel did not work. Since I keep all emails
from my clients, and have done so for many years, I have thousands of
original emails. Is there a way to filter the second and third copy for
deletion? I looked at mail cleanup, but did not see anything about deleting
duplicate copies.

You export mail from OE to Outlook, importing will ammend all dates to
Import date, which will cause you no end of problems.
If OE still exists, or you have transfered your OE store to Mail, start over
with a clean data file and export to Outlook
