I have this problem all the time. I've always thought it was my setup -
home mailserver and thunderbird client.

It looks to me like, if your email triggers a rule, the rule sometimes
fires multiple times making a lovely mess of your folders :-)

There's a thunderbird add-in that'll clean up the mess, though it
doesn't seem to work on "intelligent folders", ie things like inboxes if
you have multiple accounts :-(
