I have a problem and I don't know which part of the mail chain could be

I get multiple copies of messages to my Inbox. I have just deleted 24
copies of a newsletter from Computer Shopper. The worst example I have
seen of this had more than 90 copies. This doesn't happen to any
subfolder of Inbox, just Inbox itself.
Does your SMTP server's logs indicate receiving it multiple times?
I don't have one of the big ones still on my disk, but I have a couple where I
have allowed two copies to remain. /var/log/maillog shows just one copy of
each of them.
Me, I use a procmail recipe that removes duplicates, so I don't see
duplicate messages if they have the same Message ID. Also, what do the
headers of these "duplicates" suggest - are they fully identical?.
They are identical until the last lines, which read
X-UID: 2039
X-KMail-Filtered: 65014
Status: RO
X-Status: OC
and
X-UID: 2040
X-KMail-Filtered: 65015
Status: RO
X-Status: OC
Similarly,
X-UID: 2041
X-KMail-Filtered: 65016
Status: RO
X-Status: OAC
and
X-UID: 2042
X-KMail-Filtered: 65017
Status: RO
X-Status: OAC
Have you changed anything recently with your kmail filters? Are you
running more than one mailserver? Dovecot doesn't add the X-UID field, so
I suspect it wouldn't be changing it, either.
Best,
