Interesting. Aside from webmail, Thunderbird is indeed the only other 
client used to access this account.

In this case, I can easily find the inodes that reference more than one 
file:

  ls -li /var/spool/imap/user/bob/folder | cut -b 1-8 | sort | uniq -d

I was hoping to somehow leverage this information to delete the 
duplicates only, but haven't quite figured it out myself.
