The problem is that Evolution doesn't always manage to get flag updates
from the server (tho I believe it gets EXPUNGE notifications fine?).

Evolution also doesn't sync flag changes immediately, it waits until the
user changes folders and/or the send&receive timeout expires (or the
NOOP timer expires).

I can guarentee, tho, that Evolution is not uploading any messages to
the server thus causing duplicate copies. The duplicates are there
because of a bug in spambayes, presumably (or a server bug).

export CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 in the shell before running evolution.
