Re: Recurring email messages in IceDove and I'm feeling deja vu
Try rebuilding/repairing your INBOX and/or other effected folders. Right-click on the folder in the left-hand pane, select 'Properties' and then "Repair Folder". This can happen when Thunderbird's cache gets out-of-sync from the server and it cannot figure out how to get back in sync on it's own. I used to get this quite a lot when using IMAP to access an Exchange mailbox (Exchange is a notoriously poor IMAP server) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does the same happen with a different MUA (say, evolution or mutt)? If so, it's an issue with your IMAP server (you didn't say if that's self-hosted or provided by someone else). For example, the indexes might be read-only or perhaps you have two clients fighting over the idea of which messages are read etc. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I tried IMAP and Maildir with other MUAs, but it always does cause issues. I'm subscribed to the Wanderlust mailing list and very often read about comparable issues. When I tested Maildir with and without IMAP everything was ok, but suddenly without any add I got several thousand mails doubled offline for the MUA. I'm using POP/SMPT again, but stay with Maildir. Maildir is tricky. I'm using Evolution's Maildir, sharing mails among several Evolution clients on different installs. I don't have issues anymore, but I only can share this Maildir among Evolution, Maildir for other MUAs seems to differ from Evolutions "interpretation".
