Double distributor=double mail

[Crazy1916]

Hey, I have a question to mail distributors.

When someone sends mails to two or more distributors where my address is included (in two or more) I get the mails two times.
In Gmail it was passible to show this kind of double mails only one time in the mailbox, is it possible in Aqua Mail too and if yes how?

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't work for me. Maybe it is important that it is a Strato Mail address.

Please check what you get -- one message or two -- in your mail provider's web mail (web site).

In Aqua Mail you'll get "what's there on the server" -- one or two messages.

In Gmail it was passible to show this kind of double mails only one time in the mailbox, is it possible in Aqua Mail too and if yes how?

In this case, Gmail, - are you referring to Gmail account, or Gmail mail app (or Gmail web interface that you are using to read mail from another provider)?

And your e-mail provider, - is that Gmail, or something else?

Gmail as mail provider (even when it is used to access 3rd party's mail accounts) does that thing: consolidates duplicate messages (based on Message ID which is set by the sender's e-mail program or server).
I am not sure if Gmail app, when you are using it to access e-mail account from another provider does the same, - but that's quite possible.

If your provider is NOT Gmail, - and you were accessing it through Gmail app or web-interface, - the duplicates (triplicates, etc.) were eliminated. If you are now accessing that account with Aquamail directly, - no elimination will happen, and as Kostya wrote, - AquaMail shows it exactly as it is on the server.

"it is a Strato Mail address"

I think it's this: https://www.strato.de/mail/

It seems to be ia mail account within a web hosting package.

Thanks for this much input.

Yes it is a Strato account which is part of a web hosting package. I polled the mails with the GMAIL App via Pop3 (there was much delay so I wanted to change to IMAP, which GMAIL doesn't support).

When GMAIL app has a filter for duplicate mails, doesn't have Aquamail an equal setting?

It is extremly annoying to get the mails which I send by respronding on a distributor mail (for others in the distributor to see the mail has been answered by me, so they don't need to do it) myself again in my inbox, because my mail address is in the distributor plus the duplicate problem.

On Strato mail webpage, there is no possibility to change the setting (or I'm not finding it) to behave like GMAIL app. And yes, I get those mails two or more times in my inbox on the webpage of the mail hoster.

So there is no setting in Aquamail to set a filter or something for the duplicate problem or the sent mails from me which I get in my inbox myself again?

As Kostya pointed out, - Aquamail shows exactly the same messages as exist on the server.
So, no, there is no option to combine multiple copies of the same message.

With Gmail app, (actually, I see two possible interpretations of how things were set up there, but the effect is probably the same in both cases), - the messages, I suspect, pass through Gmail's server (cloud), where the "de-duplication" is done.
Gmail (servers) does the same if your mail client saves a "sent" message in the "Sent Mail" folder, and yet another copy arrives to your account (e.g. if you CC-ed or Bcc-ed yourself).

PS. Sorry, I didn't know what "Strato" mail meant... I had never heard that provider before.

Okay, thanks all for your help.
