Suddenly many of the messages in my mailbox (shared inbox) are duplicated.
When I delete one of the duplicate messages, both messages are removed, but an empty message dated 01-01-1970 remains in the shared inbox. The trash folder now contains both an empty message and one of the duplicate messages that was deleted.
I have to move this message back to the inbox , because it is not there anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Related to Bug 136049?
To comment#1: Maybe, i noticed this after a DST change and I have my mailboxes on a FAT32 partition.

Symptoms are similar to bug 312519.

I opened the "Local Folders\Inbox" file in vim. I saw that the messages are there twice with the same Message-ID.

It is possible that these problems started after creating some new filters on deferred accounts. I am hesitating to try to reproduce the problem, because I don't want to loose my mail.
I deleted the .msf files of my inbox and trash folder.
They were out of sync with the corresponding mail files.
The duplicate messages have now disappeared.
