I believe the issue has to do with Thunderbird loosing track of which e-mails it has already downloaded from the mail server. When this happens, you get a second copy of the e-mail. This usually happens to me when Thunderbird is open and the power goes out or the computer crashes from some reason (testing buggy software). It doesn't happen every time there is a crash, just some of the time. I hope this helps.
