Odd. I occasionally see a new message appear in the Inbox and then
disappear again before my very eyes as a filter moves it to another
folder. Once in a while the filter leaves it both places so I get
duplicated messages. The impression is of some kind of race condition
between two processes (or threads) acting on the mailstore at once. 

There was some discussion of this a while back which didn't lead
anywhere.
