Yes, the perfect way to remove duplicates from an MBOX file is by using a trusted tool like GainTools MBOX Duplicate Remover. This software automatically scans your MBOX files and removes duplicate emails and attachments without causing any data loss. It supports large MBOX files and maintains the original structure of your mailbox. The tool helps free up storage space and improves email management efficiency. It works smoothly on all Windows OS versions like 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7. With its simple and user-friendly interface, even non-technical users can operate it easily. A free demo version is also available to test the performance before buying this tool.

The best way is to use a trusted MBOX deduplication tool that scans emails by unique IDs and content hashes—this ensures no duplicates slip through and every attachment stays intact. Always back up your original MBOX first to keep your data safe while cleaning up efficiently! @Natalieperker
