Is this 'fetchmail' as in /usr/bin/fetchmail or Evolution fetching mail?

If you really are using third party tools like fetchmail, you should not
be afraid of using third party tools for eliminating dupes, in this case
formail... ;)

$ cat mbox | formail -D 8192 .msgid -s >> dedupe.mbox
$ mv -f dedupe.mbox mbox

The above commands should remove all duplicated messages judging from
the Message-ID header. Use it at your own risk. For more information
please see an older post:

If you are not using fetchmail, this command will work nonetheless. ;)
