There is now a single mailbox where I have an issue with duplicated mails - the "Sent" folder had approx 400 mails upon migration, it now has 4500 mails with each mail duplicated several times.

In general, if Message-id is different, it means it is a different message, not the same message duplicated/copied. In our case, it was some antivirus plugin on client machine trying to move message into Junk/Spam folder, but changing it in the process, which caused it detected the moved message as a new one and a loop started. You can try to check your mailserver (SMTP) logs if you will find the different message ids there.
the messages do NOT have any SMTP related headers so I am quite sure they are put on the server via IMAP. As it "worked before" the upgrade for ages something must be wrong / have changedwith the migration but as said I am out of ideas...
