Been using OE6 for a while and went to Outlook 2002. I was able to export my
OE mail to Outlook, but I did it again and re-exported all the messages
again, then I exported my Inbox folder. Now I have multiple duplicate
messages all over Outlook folders. Is there a tool or rule to locate and
delete duplicate mail messages?

My OE6 is looking at one eMail account and my Outlook is looking at another
and I wanted to import new mail from OE6 to Outlook occasionally which where
I went wrong and got multiple duplicate messages. I can sort by date and
manually delete the duplicates but I hoped there was an easy way to do it.
