I hope you'll excuse me adding to this. I see this frequently, but I
use IMAP accounts and I just put it down to multiple devices accessing
the same IMAP store. Other oddities happen as well - like messages
getting undeleted or unread randomly.  It seems particularly prevalent
when iOS devices are involved.

It feels like there is some miss-match of cache syncing policies
between devices - or something not checking for changes before syncing.
Does that sound possible to you?

As I said I just put it down to iOS not playing nicely with other
devices and ignore it!  It doesn't happen reliably enough to really
investigate deeply.
