Mark and delete duplicate messages?

[Alexis]

Hi all,

Having been offline for several days, i'm now facing the standard
issue of having a massive number of duplicated messages from my
GMail accounts. (Nb. my setup doesn't involve IMAP access via
offlineimap / mbsync / etc., but POP3 access via getmail.)

Is there some straightforward way i can ask mu4e to trash all
messages that are duplicates?

Mu comes with a find-dups script. Make sure you have mu with
guile-support and run 'mu find-dups'. That will list all duplicates.

There's even a '--delete' option to that, which deletes all but one of
the dups (it's fairly new -- be careful).

Regards,
Dirk.

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

i'm having trouble getting the find-dups script to work.

My local mu repo's HEAD is commit 646b0656.

Running:

$ ./configure --enable-guile

seems to complete successfully; config.log contains:

configure:16906: checking for GUILE configure:16913:
$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "guile-2.0"
configure:16916: $? = 0 configure:16930: $PKG_CONFIG --exists
--print-errors "guile-2.0" configure:16933: $? = 0
configure:16971: result: yes configure:16984: checking for

guile-snarf configure:17056: found /usr/bin/guile-snarf
configure:17068: result: /usr/bin/guile-snarf

Then, running:

$ make install

completes successfully also.

However, when i type:

$ mu find-dups

the output i get is:

;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile
argument to disable. ;;; compiling

What am i missing? i'm running Debian Wheezy 7.8 x86_64.

Thanks!

Hi Alexis,

Hmmm, seems like a load-path problem; does it work after:

export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0"

Cheers,
Dirk.

I solved it with:

(set! %load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0" %load-path))

I was too fast, but neither

(set! %load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0" %load-path))

nor setting GUILE_LOAD_PATH helps here.

The find-dups script is not found.

It does indeed. :-) i'll add that to my .zshenv - thanks!

Hi,

I just found this (I have the same problem).  mu as installed via Homebrew on Mac doesn't have guile support built in.  Is there an easy way to get this without doing the compile/install dance myself?
