[Dovecot] Duplicate message
I'm running dovecot on my desktop and using kmail as a client on my laptop.
I am very happy with this - I was previously running kmail under NFS, and this is infinitely better.
There is one small issue, which is not very important. I get a small number of messages apparently duplicated. This doesn't really matter, as there is a facility Folder=>Remove Duplicate Messages under kmail, and this deals with the issue easily enough.
I just wondered though why I get the duplicate messages, and if there is some simple way to avoid them?

There are two possibilities:
The messages really get saved twice.
IMAP client copies the message to the same mailbox duplicating it.
I guess you use maildir? Set maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes. Then see if the duplicated mails are hardlinks (e.g. stat to see if inodes are same or if ls -l shows >1 links). Or you could enable mail-log plugin and see if it shows "copy" lines for the message.
