When I receive a mail that is addressed to my email address and also with a cc to a mailinglist I subscribe to, I get two mails, which I guess is expected... But I have just moved to Dovecot from Cyrus, and Cyrus seems to know that this is the same mail, so only one of those two mail is stored on the imap srv... Is there some option I am missing in Dovecot or isn't this possible using Dovecot?

It should be the very first recipe, and looks like this:" at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/12/06/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=last . -- Asheesh. -- Don't wake me up too soon...

As far as I know there is no such thing in Dovecot's deliver. However, deliver is easy to understand and probably you find someone to jump in and make a patch. If you do not use Dovecot deliver, check your local MDA. If you mean that Cyrus stores two identical mails only once physically, e.g. when spooling for two users, then no, because Dovecot is not designed to only support virtual users, but with real users two users cannot easily share the same file.
