If you want remove multiple MBOX files from different email clients, then I can suggest the best tool like TrustVare MBOX Duplicate Remover. The software automatically scans MBOX files for duplicates and removes them without harming your original data. The software handles a large number of duplicate MBOX files without downloading any other application. The software capatible with all Windows OS versions like 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7. It has a simple interface for all non-technical users and they can use it without technical skills. Users can try the free demo versions before buying this tool.
Why duplicates happenWhen you import/merge MBOX files from different clients (Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Eudora, etc.), the same email often exists in multiple files — so the merge creates copies. Normal manual deletion is risky because you can't easily tell duplicates from originals at scale.
The safest fix: use an MBOX Duplicate Remover
The tool worth using here is RecoveryTools MBOX Duplicate Remover :
One tip: Always run this on a copy of your MBOX, not the original, as a safety net — even with good tools.
