[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?
We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP client, or a known bug? Running 1.0.7 Thanks!

Tell the client to run far away from Kmail if that's the case. (Or at least stay away from dIMAP = disconnected IMAP.) Otherwise, don't know. Do you know what client it is? Best, Ben
