POP was always much more prone to duplicating emails because of the way the message IDs are used in POP. It's why all the dedup plugins/programs/protocols were created. I've never heard of a problem of IMAP duplicating emails and, knowing how the protocol works, I can't see how it can! The view you see in your mailbox is what is on the server, so something else must be duplicating the mails. You may have seen a problem when using an IMAP server, but it's not an IMAP protocol issue per se.
