Describe the bug
Trying to delete 'all' older emails that are duplicates, error messages indicating no mails will be deleted are printed.
As a sidenote, this particular scan has been running for a week so far, on 3300 emails, and has yet to complete. I'm worried that the Warnings indicate that it's not going to have selected anything to delete even when it completes. It's using 15.7GB of RAM, of which the majority is in SWAP because this system only has 4GB RAM.
To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
The full
mdedupCLI invocation you used.$ /mdedup --dry-run -i maildir -s discard-newer -a delete-discarded ./my_maildir/
Expected behavior
All 'newer' emails be selected for deletion
CLI output
▒ 5 mails sharing hash 47dfeff7be8be6af507bfef326aa1d3ae889577024ca169b87a3f085
Check mail differences are below the thresholds.
Select all mails sharing the oldest 1610466501 timestamp...
warning: Skip set: all 5 mails within were selected. The strategy criterion was not able to discard some.
