About Remove Duplicate Messages (Alternate)

- -

-This is an extension for, well, removing duplicate messages from your mail folders. -You select some folder for a dupe check, then get a nice dialog for selecting which -messages should be deleted and which kept (or no dialog if you don't want it), then -the superfluous messages are deleted. Pretty straightforward right...? -

Background

-

This is a rewrite of an extension called 'Remove Duplicate Messages', written -by Thorsten W. Schmidt. That extension was not free software (although it is -available as JS + XUL + CSS of course, so it's 'open source'), and since it -had been abandoned by its author, it could not be further developped thanks -to the wonderful -copyright laws that Capitalism has blessed us with.

- -

So, I decided to rewrite the extension completely and publish it under a -free software license. This would allow for future development of this extension -- by myself or others - and perhaps even, one day, integration into the main -codebase.

License

-

-To ease code interchange, this extension is distributed under the terms -of three licenses - MPL -1.1 , GPL 2.0 , - -LGPL 2.1 -- at your pick.
