No, all folders that have had activity since yesterday morning. If one new msg has arrived at the server since yesterday, it is duplicated every 5 minutes as the local imap is refreshed. 20 new messages = 20 more dups every 5 minutes.

And they'll all new new, roughly a gigabyte. No thanks. This kdepim folder has currently 108 msgs collected since the last time I removed dups about 3 hours ago. running remove dups on it reduces it to 7 but there only 2 genuinely new messages, yours and one about keyboards. I did do an akonadctl stop until it said it wasn't running, then restarted it. But I have better things to do than cycle thru 50 some folders runniing delete duplicates. I can't keep ahead of it.
