Find the duplicated message files in maildir and check their hard link
count.

If hard link count is more than one, it's most likely your IMAP client
that's doing the duplication by COPYing the message. You can verify this
with e.g. rawlog.

If hard link count is 1, then the message is probably being redelivered
for some reason. Check the received headers to see if they're different.
