Sieve duplicate script? You mean the Sieve duplicate extension (RFC 7352)?

It uses the lda-dupes file in the user's home directory. So, it is not 
normally related to folders, although the identifier used for duplicate 
matching could be composed of the mailbox name if you want.

Are you talking about IMAPSieve now? I am not sure "duplicate" is 
currently even allowed in that context.

You can set the :uniqueid parameter accordingly.
