[MlMt] Using MM Find features to search for email with duplicate receive dates and subject

[Henry Seiden]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for suggestions. I will look into the de-dupe application. The Find Duplicates built-in feature in MM is IMO, almost as bad as a manual ‘de-dupe’ whcich I already completed with a great deal of time spent and about 85% success rate.

I found other suggestions of apps that work similarly, some more difficult than others to implement. You are correct, this is one-shot, I hope.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
