Sorry for the clumsy title.

I have activated IMAP on my mum's Gmail and am uploading her old emails. The messages are from her pre-gmail times and were, thus, POP3'd to her computer using other email accounts.

The problem is I accidentally twice dragged the emails in one, rather large, folder to the corresponding IMAP folder. As a result I am getting duplicates in Gmail.

This duplication is currently ongoing and wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that her internet connection is a 3G broadband connection with a 1GB monthly limit.

Is there any way to "force quit" the copying/duplication from within Mail? I can disconnect the Gmail IMAP account but when I reconnect the duplication resumes.

TIA
Philip
