Compact Database System Requirements Links: MailSteward Support SQLite | Check for Duplicate Email As email is archived into the database, MailSteward will automatically skip duplicates. An email is considered a duplicate if there is an exact match on the From, To, Date and Time, and the first 500 characters of the body, with an email that is already in the database. This will work most of the time, but sometimes a duplicate email will get through. It is also possible that some duplicates may have gotten into the database because of changes in previous versions of MailSteward. Duplicate emails that are skipped during an archive are logged in the Duplicates Log. Click on Duplicates Log in the File menu to view the list of logged duplicates. You can check for duplicates in the database by clicking on the Check for Duplicate Email item in the File menu. MailSteward will then go through the entire database and look for email that has an exact match on the From, To, Date, minutes, seconds, and Subject. It does not match on the hour in case some email was archived in different time zones, and it does not match on the body, but it does look for a match on the subject. The duplicate email will then be listed in the Browser window where it can be examined and deleted.
