Bug Description
In the "Tools" menu under "Delete duplicated messages" -> "In all folders" if there are two mailboxes and one contains symbolic links, say for example because one is using mairix and having it populate a folder with search results, the delete duplicates tool can move actual email to the trash instead of the links.
This is claws-mail 3.11.1 on ubuntu studio 14.4 64 bit. Please note that I have a ppa for claws-mail so I might be using a newer version than is normally in the repositories. That is, I have the ppa for the latest claws-mail:

Edited to say that this is the first time ever that I try reporting a bug here so I'm not real sure how to go about it. Since the issue doesn't cause a crash apport doesn't get involved and there's no automated collection of info. If this report is useful but more info is needed and somebody is inclined to tell me what info exactly then I'll gladly try to add it.
