Mailfiles gets duplicated

Hello,
With my configuration Dovecot creates multiple duplicates (sometimes 2,
sometimes 3, sometimes a plenty) of mailfiles when moving them into the
Sent or the Trash folders. This does not affect the Inbox folder. I
observed this while using Thunderbird on Ubuntu as a client as well as
K9-Mail on Android, therefore I expect this comes from the Dovecot
server and not from the client itself. It also appears that the
duplicates does not have the size S= and vsize W= flags.
Here is a short example of the last emails from my folder /.Sent/cur:
