Right click in the system tray on Outlook and click on “Cancel Server Request”. It loads for me right after I do so.

Used it, appears to be working, but I could only delete about a dozen of the ODIR folders!

Delete folder no longer works on the ODIR Duplicate Items folders. So now I have over a hundred new folders with deleted emails.

GREAT solution.

What does ODIR do with duplicate e-mails it finds? I can’t find them! Regards, dajacques@t-online.de

It appears it only works in the account it was installed. If you are using a limited account, change it to an administrator account first then install ODIR. You can change back after you’re done.

I had that, I had to add the user as a local administrator, logged off and back on reinstalled and it showed as an add-in. The only problem I have now is that it cannot read my ost file…

I have downloaded and tried to use ODIR on Outlook 2010, but can’t seem to get the add-in to load at all.
I know it’s free, and I know you guys aren’t going to offer any support, but there is no assistance if the add-in isn’t working, and I’ve not come across anyone with the same problem.
I’ve tried manually adding the ODIR.dll file to the com add-ins dialog but I still can’t get the add-in to launch. It doesn’t even appear in the add-in list.
Any ideas?

After being forced to upgrade MobileMe calendars, I found that I had HUNDREDS of duplicates in my calendars. Microsoft’s idea of a solution is to manually remove each dup – NOT!
So, I did a google search – and found your review on ODIR. I downloaded the app and voila 709 duplicate entries were removed. Easy, Effective, and FREE – can’t get much better than that! Thanks.

At first, ODIR was hanging and freezing my Outlook 2003 on Win 7 (not responding). It turned out it was scanning my 45,000 emails. After a while, it began moving my duplicate emails to the duplicate sub-folder it created. Nice. Thanks!
