Okay, here is the set up. I have Outlook set up to keep mail on the server for 5 days. At some point I started downloading all my mail that was on the server over and over again, even though I already have the mail. The weird thing is that it did not download all the mail, just a few. For example it would download 6 messages, then 18, then 12, etc! After I tried it a few times I had 50 of the same message in Outlook?
This is probably the Outlook UIDL problem. You should be able to fix it by changing how Dovecot generates it's UIDLs (note that that means it downloads all messages again the first time). Here's one possible way to do it:

I'll probably make this configurable one day.
