[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?
We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP client, or a known bug?
Running 1.0.7
Thanks!

I've seen that happen with Kmail. Tell the client to run far away from Kmail if that's the case. (Or at least stay away from dIMAP = disconnected IMAP.) Otherwise, don't know. Do you know what client it is?

Yes, the IMAP client is a proprietary spin from Oracle. So, yes, I'm betting that they didn't follow this excellent doc when programming it:
http://www.dovecot.org/imap-client-coding-howto.html
Just knowing that it's not an unusual occurrence is good.
Thanks!

You could try if enabling mail_log plugin shows that the client copies
the same message multiple times.
