To my understanding, the Powerstore module (HSM module in Network Edition) endeavors to deduplicate emails upon their arrival, so it shouldn't be necessary to run a doDeduplicate message1 all that often.
But I'm wondering if my understanding is wrong or at best incomplete, or if I've not configured something correctly?
I have a system with ~150 mostly IMAP users who send each other a lot of email, often with attachments.
The mailstore size is about 200GB. For the past several weeks I have run a weekly doDeduplicate with the following typical results:
Network Modules NG Version: 2.8.0

Following volumes selected for deduplication: [message1]
- stats -
total duplicated blobs: 238495
linked blobs: 40604
already linked blobs: 197891
skipped blobs: 0
invalid digests: 0
bytes saved: 11.62 GB
Curious if this is all working OK, if doDeduplicate doesn't apply to IMAP transactions, or if I've missed something in the configuration setup.
Thanks!
