ABSTRACT:
The method and system disclosed herein provide for detecting duplicate information contents such as emails, before storing them in the system, in a fast and reliable way. A parameter that uniquely represents each information content may be determined, and the comparison process of the information contents may be efficiently carried out on the parameters, rather than on the actual information contents.
