sigh... i answered the same question five days ago.

ok, here we go, several possible reasons i've collected over the
years: ;-)

- You have got several copies in your mailbox
- The mail server supports the UIDL extension yet changes the message
UIDs each session
- The mail server does not support UIDL (which means Evolution has to
generate UIDs using md5sums of the message headers) but the server
changes the message headers after download (usually adding a Status: or
X-Status: header - Evolution's md5sum ignores these, but Evolution may
be missing other headers that this particular server munges)
- $HOME/.evolution/mail/pop/cache-* files are not writable

You can find a script to get rid of those duplicates at
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2005-January/041442.html, use it at your own risk. :-)

cheers,
andre
