When using Message Filters on an IMAP account I often get duplicate messages in my local folder where important messages are put. How can I stop this?

Since switching to IMAP and using message filters, I often get duplicate messages in my local folders. I think this is a bug.

That is my guess as to what is happening.

When the IMAP part starts syncing with the server to fill in the inbox, the message filter system starts working before it is done syncing. I appears that the filters runs too quickly because as the filter moves a msg to a local folder, the sync thread think it need to download it again from the server. If the sync with the remote server takes a long time, I could end up with 5 or more copies of the exact same email.

This has always happened for years now but I figured someone would have noticed it and fix it by now. Now I am wondering it it has something to do with my filters or my settings.

Has anyone run into this before?
