Hello folks,

Newish user having switched over from Outlook over Xmas time. One of the features on Outlook which is almost certainly available on Thunderbird is the ability to clean-up folders based on conversation duplicates.

Having searched for this there are options for either conversations (group by, but not duplicates within the conversation) or extensions which remove just duplicates or dupes.

Basically, I am after one function combining the two above similar to Outlook and if possible built in as i have an aversion to installing anything without a checksum.

Thanks for any pointers.

I wondered if my search terms were incorrect as results were inconclusive.

Pretty sure this feature will be out there but perhaps by another name, essentially all it does it to remove emails where content is repeated further up the conversation - for example, if you reply to an email the original text is already contained in the reply, normally I would delete the original myself but sometimes this is skipped especially using android where it doesn't delete it but moves to archive instead, that involves another step so I try to keep deletions for when using laptop only.

Thanks
