<p dir="auto">Whenever seeing duplicates behaving like this, it's a good idea to enable the “Source Mailbox” column in the message list. It's very likely that the messages are not located in the same mailbox -- but somehow the server sees it as the same mailbox.</p>

<p dir="auto">They're in the same mailbox ("INBOX - <a href="mailto:eric@meyerweb.com">eric@meyerweb.com</a>"). Also they have the same UID, though not the same Msg ID. Screenshot fragment I took just now: <a href="https://meyerweb.com/pix/2024/mailmate-dupes-source-uid-msgid.png">https://meyerweb.com/pix/2024/mailmate-dupes-source-uid-msgid.png</a></p>
<p dir="auto">What's really frustrating from a reproducibility standpoint is that the duplication seems to have stopped happening. Older duplicated messages are still duplicated, but new messages to the same mailbox are not. Is it possible I somehow accidentally caused the mailbox to duplicate all its messages at some point without realizing it?</p>

<p dir="auto">Is Gmail involved in this issue?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Not for this account. I do have a couple of accounts that are GMail-based, but they haven't seen the duplication happen.</p>
