About the Email Deduplicator

An exact-match dedupe misses most of the real duplicates on a list. a.da@gmail.com, ada@gmail.com and ada+newsletter@gmail.com are one mailbox and one person, and that person gets your email three times and reports it once.

This deduplicates on the normalised form instead: case folded, Gmail dots removed, provider sub-address tags stripped, googlemail.com folded into gmail.com. Yahoo uses a hyphen rather than a plus, and that is handled too — and, importantly, a hyphen is not stripped at domains where it is just part of a name.

Every duplicate group is shown with the variants that collapsed into it, so you can see exactly what was merged and pick which form to keep.

Key features of the Email Deduplicator

Catches disguised duplicates

Gmail dots, plus tags and Yahoo hyphens all resolve correctly.

Provider-aware rules

A hyphen is only a tag at the providers that treat it as one.

Groups shown

Every variant that collapsed into a kept address is listed.

Original order preserved

The first occurrence is the one kept.

Three strictness levels

Match whatever your own platform counts as a duplicate.

How to use the Email Deduplicator

  2. 2

    Choose the matching

    Exact, case-insensitive, or full normalisation with tags and dots.

  3. 3

    Each set of duplicates is shown with every variant in it.

  4. 4

    Copy the unique list

    One address per real mailbox, in the original order.

Frequently asked questions

No. Gmail ignores them entirely when routing, so a.d.a@gmail.com and ada@gmail.com are the same mailbox. Almost no other provider works this way, which is why the dot rule is applied only to Gmail and Googlemail.
