In searching for the tools I previously used to clean it up, I came across dupeGuru – an OS X GUI application that finds identical files and can trash them. In migrating a client’s email to Office 365 recently, one user had a massive mailbox, with one folder alone having over 35 GB of email in it. When the issue was occurring more frequently, I was using some command-line tools to clean them up, but having not encountered it in the wild again now for more than a year, I’ve totally forgotten which tools I used and how I invoked them. I never got to the bottom of what was causing it, but the symptoms were that people would see their mailbox sizes grow to crazy sizes and there would be many, many duplicates of many emails in these folders. I’ve had issues in the past where a Kerio Connect mail server talking to Apple Mail can somehow end up duplicating hundreds or even thousands of emails in mailboxes.
