In fact, this problem should not occur at all as imap servers do no
pass this message as a new message. You should be encountering it only
if you are downloading the mails as well as reading them on the
server.

Autotagging will not work because if there are no mails matching, a
wrong mail (probably, a new one) will get deleted.
