Duplicate Problem with Autoarchive

I restored my previously archived e-mails to their
original folders and changed the default date for my
autoarchive settings. Unfortunately, I didn't realise,
when they were restored, that a copy was retained in the
archived folder. Hence when they were next autoarchived
it created multiple copies in both the original and the
archived folders.
As I have hundreds of folders and thousands of e-mails:-
(a) Is there any quick way to search for and eliminate
the multiple copies?
(b) Is there any setting that I can change to eliminate
the production of multiple copies in the future? I did
not see this option when I made the previously mentioned
changes, although I seem to remember it when I tranferred
E-mails from old computers using the Import/Export
Command.
 
A 30 day functional trial is available at
http://www.mapilab.com/files/duplicate_remover.zip to delete duplicate mail.

As you restored already archived mails to the active mailbox it is logic
that they are archived again. There is no option to prevent this other than
not to restore mails that also can be accessed by opening your archive.
