Is there a way to do this in batches?

This when run on a very large mailbox results in an out of memory error.

Given that duplicates have the same date I would like to be able to do this in batches without
narrowing the definition of the mailbox and simply let it complete.


Anyway to do something like this in batches?

Ideally I shouldn't need the whole message to select a row just a row indicie would be enough.

tell application "Mail"
set v to first message viewer
with timeout of 900 seconds
set a to messages of v
end timeout
get count of a
set selected messages of v to {}
set selected_messages to {}
set mids to {}
set s to a reference to mids
repeat with eachMessage in a
try
--set linesHeader to (content of headers of eachMessage whose name is "Lines")

set mailboxName to the name of mailbox of eachMessage

--set k to all headers of eachMessage

set k to mailboxName & (sender of eachMessage) & (date received of eachMessage) & (subject of eachMessage)

--set k to message id of eachMessage

if (k is not null) then
if mids contains k then
copy eachMessage to end of selected_messages
else
copy k to the end of s
end if
end if
on error e
end try
end repeat
set selected messages of v to selected_messages
--beep
--display dialog "Finished selecting duplicate messages" buttons {"OK"} with title "Select Duplicates Script"
end tell
