Yes, that is what I am saying. Is that incorrect? I'd be most happy to be wrong. I guess I approached it this way...

Say I have UserA and UserB. Both have (in the recent past) received the same email with a large attachment. Then I migrate their mailboxes - I use the GW migration wizard to duplicate UserA's mailbox to Zimbra. A copy of that email (and large attachment) are transferred over. When that is complete, I migrate UserB. The Migration wizard has no knowledge that an existing copy of that same email is already in UserA's zimbra mailbox, and simply migrates the same thing, again. The "linkage" between UserA, UserB, and this particular email with large attachment is no longer there, and the attachment is "duplicated".
