Thanks a lot for testing. For better tracking of bugs, please open  
issues on bugzilla - http://synckolab.mozdev.org/bugs.html

Duplicates should not really happen, unless there are problems with  
the parsing code. I suggest creating a new imap folder and sync  
directly from synckolab into it. this should create all entries  
correct and then you can just use that instead of the old folder.

Obviously this only makes sense if you only use synckolab. If the  
entries are from another client, it might be that synckolab simply  
cannot correctly parse the entries. in this case, please send me such  
an entry (best the .eml) so i can investigate what field synckolab  
does not like. (best to send it directly and not attach it to the bug  
- unless there is no sensetiv einformation in it).
