Move sent emails to sent folder?

I believe my client is using an iPhone to check mail on this address. The interesting thing is that it seems like apple mail clients don’t show the duplicate messages like thunderbird does. I don’t like the idea of the unnecessary emails piling up. Are you saying that doing a repair on a folder in thunderbird will delete the duplicate messages? 

Doing an ls /maildir/user/.Sent/cur folder shows the duplicate messages. It seems like postfix is bccing the outgoing message more than once somehow.

Maybe I need to take this conversation over to the postfix mailing list?
