* Turns out there are other choices for this setting besides "0" and "1"
* 0 - this is the default value. It retrieves duplicate mails like
normal mails.
* 1 - if you set the value to 1 duplicate mails will be deleted
automatically once retrieved
* 2 - if you set the value to 2 duplicated mails will be moved right
into the trash
* 3 - the value 3 finally marks duplicate mails as read

If you want to delete duplicate mails automatically in Thunderbird you
set the value 1.

For Windows 10 with Thunderbird 52.9.1:

Hamburger >> Options >>? Options >> Config Editor >> ""I accept the risk" >>

See:

Then, as Chuck said,

scroll to mail.server.default.dup_action

right click

Select modify

Change 0 to 1

Click "OK"

etc.

In my experience, common practice is that "Click" is assumed to mean
"Left Click" unless preceded by "Right".

Yes I have an edit pull down menu . No Options or preferences listed as
a choice there anymore in the WIN version

Nowhere ( so far in the windows 60 version ) under EDIT,? or the
hamburger Icon does the word preferences appear.? There is an OPTION
choice under TOOLS but no choices under <TOOLS><OPTIONS> that I see for
filtering dupes

Without getting into a windows vs Linux debate the two versions are
clearly different . Thank you Chuck & Dave for attempting to assist
although apparently the Linux version has at least one feature ( not
surprisingly) that differs from the WINDOWS version

The multi message problem seems to have gone away today...even if it
hadn't it has taken me less time to hit the <DEL> key than searching for
Alice in this "PREFERENCES" rabbit hole :-P

"Preferences" has been there since v1.0, fifteen years ago. It's got
to be there somewhere. Do you have an "Edit" pull-down menu?

In my installation, the "Preferences" choice is near the bottom of the
