Sounds like an Outlook bug. The only thing Dovecot could do wrong is to
provide duplicate UIDL for the messages. You could verify this yourself
by giving UIDL command and seeing if there are duplicates. But I highly
doubt that, because you're using:

Which means your UIDL is based on message UID and UIDVALIDITY. Neither
depend on message contents.
