The way to eliminate duplicate emails in an inbox varies depending on your email provider. A standard approach could be through using the search feature of each inbox, but most providers have their own features to expedite this process. Alternately, you can download a program that finds and deletes all duplicate emails from a given program automatically. For example, for Microsoft Outlook, a free trial version of Duplicate Email Remover is available as an add-in.
Standard
Log in to your email client. Find the search field. You usually can find them along the top. In Gmail, it is just below the upper border of the Web page to the left. In Windows Live Mail, it is at the top-right of the inbox field just above the words "Arrange by." In Yahoo! it is in a similar location as in Gmail.
Type the subject of the duplicate email and press "Enter." Many results are likely to appear, but almost all email clients give the option to refine your search once you receive your results. In Yahoo!, search refinement options appear in the grid on the left. In Windows Live Mail and Gmail, it will be along the top. Narrow down your search until only the duplicate emails appear.
Click "Select all." Though Yahoo! Mail and Windows Live Mail offer this option, Gmail expedites this by asking what you would like to do with your search results. Once all of the duplicate emails are selected in Yahoo! Mail and Windows Live Mail, click "Move to" and then select "Trash." In both Yahoo! and Windows Live Mail, this option appears at the top. In Gmail, you have the option to delete or archive your duplicate emails. Archiving it will eliminate it from your inbox, but will prevent permanent deletion.
