Hi, I have a fedora30 desktop with Thunderbird 68.1.1 (64-bit), although I'm not sure the version matters. It's configured to connect using IMAP to a dovecot system also on fedora30.
The problem is that when Thunderbird is open on multiple computers (the other is my Windows laptop), virtually every message received is duplicated.
I'm not entirely surprised, considering two systems are competing for the same connection. However, this doesn't happen with my K-9 client on my phone with Thunderbird also open on my desktop.
Perhaps someone knows of a Thunderbird or dovecot setting that maybe closes the connection when it's done updating, or some other configuration option that prevents this?

Since you're using IMAP this should never happen. I have multiple Thunderbird and K-9 connections to dovecot using the same account and I've never seen this. Does K-9 see the duplicate messages? Do you have some sort of filtering either on the server or one of the Thunderbird clients? Check the headers of the duplicates. Do they have the same Message-ID?
I do not know how related this is, or how relevant this is....
After last month upgrading to Fedora-30, and as a part of that, upgrading to Thunderbird 68, I sometimes experience the following: * after sending a message, the copy that is put in the Sent folder is bolded/highlighted like an unread message in the Inbox; * after sending the message, two copies are put in the Sent folder, and one is bolded/highlighted like an unread message in the Inbox. These happen both in yahoo accounts and in the comcast account. These each occur only sometimes. I have not noticed any pattern to when these occur.
Bill.
