It appears that the problem is that the user has two email programs running the same filters at the same time. Somehow, this creates a duplicate message. Any clues as to why this might be? Are there any options that may cause this behavior to change? I thought maybe the options "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks" and/or "maildir_copy_preserve_filename" may be helpful options...(they're both set to the default of 'no').
The message gets duplicated to Spam of course, but do you mean it also gets duplicated to INBOX?
If you meant that they're duplicated in Spam, it just can't be helped. It's perfectly valid for an IMAP client to copy the same message twice to another mailbox. Set up a server-side filtering instead.
