As mentioned, you can combine the mboxes by appending one to the other.
For the duplicates, mutt can handle these with, I think, the edit_threads
patch. (Or perhaps it's in the core functionality now?) Messages with
duplicate Message-Id: headers are displayed threaded, with an equals sign:
Message foo
`=>
You can match them with the ~= pattern, so deleting them all is as simple
as '<delete-pattern>~=<enter>'.
