I just changed the owner of the IMAP folder and assigned Postfix and courier-authlib to use this new user. It has a UID and GID of 1000.
Here a new set of headers (from both duplicated mails), and a copy of my log from this. Sorry if I put a link in my message, it's because I can't include all the header's data from Hotmail... http://www.myrandor.com/postfix2.txt >From what I can see in there, the email is picked up only once from my mail >client. So I suspect something's wrong in Postfix... Seems like it delivered >the mail to Amavis, but doing a copy to itself at the same time...?
