Duplicate Outlook email finder, difficulty viewing the Outlook items report

The report after scanning hundreds of emails is very much spread across the report box. Email addresses are listed in the first column on the far left margin of the box and everything else are in columns on the FAR right side of the box and I cannot drag those columns to the left to be viewed all together. I tried dragging the vertical bars in each column but they won't "stick". So far the results are rather disappointing and useless in this form. Can you assist?

Also, I don't see the option to create another folder to put the deleted emails in as a back up. Where?

thank you

Dear Richard,

It looks like you have 'Show diagnostic information' option selected.
The utility report has only two columns without it.
Diagnostic information is needed to find out why items are not duplicates mostly.
And it is recommended to copy it (or save) to Microsoft Excel and analyze it there.

If you need to copy duplicates to another folder then you need to download and run another utility:
Removes duplicate messages

There is option an option called 'Move duplicates to folder'.
Please note that 'Delete duplicates permanently' options should not be selected.

Also, once it reports my duplicates, why don't I have an option to delete all but one of each set? Is this only to get a report? Thanks Richard

Jouri Serdioukov Messages: 231 Registration: 1/25/2013	#4 11/20/2013 7:38 AM Yes, this utility is only to get a report. You need to use another utility if you want to delete duplicates. You can run Remove duplicate messages utility without Report Duplicates.
