[Dovecot] Reproducible duplicate messages bug with Mail.app+Dovecot

[Andrew Moran]

Hey Timo,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, the original set is still gone, which is the odd thing about  
this.   It's only the new set that show up duplicates.   And as for  
my Trash settings, I have it "Move deleted messages to the Trash  
mailbox" and "Store deleted messages on the server" checked.

I'm surprised you aren't seeing the same behavior as myself as we  
have very similar setups.   I have tried using different machines,  
and different accounts, and I always get the same behavior --  
messages show up twice after moving messages if  other messages were  
deleted (but not expunged) in that folder.

Someone else suggested I use dovecot logging, so I'll look into that.
