Recently, I found several hundred email messages "recovered" in MAIL after doing a clean install.

Using a random selection of several, the originals were still in their original folders as well as appearing in the "new" Recovered Messages folder in MAIL.

Can all of these messages (duplicates?) safely be deleted from the Recovered Messages folders WITHOUT the originals being deleted from their original locations?

I have done clean installs many times before with each of the subsequent versions of OSX installations as far back as Tiger. However, these "recovered messages" have only appeared this time when installing HIGH SIERRA.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd hate to think I would have to check each one - of hundreds - on a one-at-a-time basis just to be certain. frown
