When seeing duplicates in All Messages (or other smart mailboxes) then 
it's always a good idea to enable the “Source Mailbox” column in the 
message list. This will tell you exactly in which IMAP mailboxes these 
messages are located.

In most cases, the explanation is one of the following two:

1. Google (Gmail) which does not really support IMAP, but their own 
variant of IMAP with different rules. I've written about this (including 
how to deal with it) in this manual page: 
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup#gmail
2. Some SMTP servers have the non-standard behavior of saving a copy of 
sent messages in an IMAP folder (within the IMAP account which uses the 
same login credentials as the SMTP server), but MailMate also saves a 
copy. Depending on settings these might end up in different IMAP 
mailboxes.

Let me know if neither of the above explains the problem.
