[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?

Yes, the IMAP client is a proprietary spin from Oracle. So, yes, I'm
betting that they didn't follow this excellent doc when programming it:

Just knowing that it's not an unusual occurrence is good.

Thanks!

Joe

I've seen that happen with Kmail. Tell the client to run far away from
Kmail if that's the case. (Or at least stay away from dIMAP =
disconnected
IMAP.) Otherwise, don't know. Do you know what client it is?
