Hello, I just migrated my emails from gmail using getmail. In the process I got some emails that have been doubled or tripled How do I run the doveadm command to delete copies of same emails? I tried running the following:- doveadm deduplicate -u user at domain.net inbox but I get error:- doveadm(root): Fatal: Unknown argument INBOX Could someone share some way to automatically remove duplicated messages? Thanks Kevin

I'm guessing you're missing "MAILBOX" in the command. Also when using deduplicate on my servers, it usually doesn't remove every duplicate on first run and needs to be executed repeatedly. Not sure if it's Debian version's (2.2.13) bug or an upstream one. YMMV
