Removing duplicate emails after importing my inbox

[Guest]

How do I remove duplicate emails after importing my inbox?
I switched from Outlook Express to Outlook, did an "import" in Outlook, and
now have two or more copies of everything. Is there an automatic way of
weeding out the ones that I don't need?

Hi William,

Unfortunately there is not an automatci method to delete duplicate mails, but since your emails were duplicated by an import, you should be able to sort all of these emails by modifed
date and delete them rather easilty.

Right click on the gray headers above your email and choose Field Chooser. From the drop-down list in the Field Chooser window, select "All Mail Fields". Scroll down until you see the
"Modified" field, and drag and drop it onto the field headers. You can then click on the "Modified" field to have all of the emails you imported listed by the date they were imported. You
can then delete these easily.
