Hi,
I now have a second user that is seeing this. Client is thunderbird.

One of my users is seeing duplicate mails occasionally too. Client is Sylpheed with POP3. It is quite seldom, maybe twice a month, using POP3 several hours a day. We've been seeing this for some time now, including up to rc13.
Is the client configured to keep the mails in the server or delete them?
Both delete the mails.
I've attached a log from the sylpheed user that hopefully shows something.
What do you see in logs? Does the client disconnect normally, or is there a timeout, crash or something?
Nothing exciting in the logs, everything looks normal.
If the client is configured to delete the mails, I think the only possible reason is that the connection dies before the mails have been deleted. So when that happens, it would be useful to know what exactly the log says was the reason. Possible reasons are:
- Logged out: A normal logout with QUIT command. Should have worked correctly.
- Disconnected for inactivity: This has sometimes been a bug in Dovecot, but I'm not aware of any such bugs currently. It could also just be a network problem.
- Disconnected: The client disconnected. Probably a network problem.
Then there are also some other reasons which could be Dovecot problems.
I'd say for sure that there's no network problem involved. The log file shows a normal QUIT, and hopefully shows more.
