message already exists #19

If in destination folder some message already exists (it was copied somehow before), there could be an option: * overwrite without asking * delete * ask *something else. Thank you,.

Currently for "move" or "copy", if destination folder contains the same message as source folder ( same email ID), it will be just ignored. ie, no action will be performed.

If it's the same, so overwrite is meaningless, we can only choose either delete the message from source folder or not: If it's move, then can either 1. ignore, 2. delete src email. If it's copy, the just ignore.

So we can only have options for move action, right?

yes. As for me, I use "move" as "archive", so option 2. delete the src mail should be good, could be default, so the src folder cant get filled with "abondonen/duplicate" messages.
