I think this may be a known bug (or feature, as Microsoft would have it)
with IMAP/POP clients connecting to Exchange 2007 (?). I believe it may
be related to
<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296568%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx>
(whereby even if you have send-read-receipts set to off at both OWA and
your Imap client, Exchange will still send a read receipt on request at
the point at which mail is downloaded to the client -- the duplication
noted in the Technet article applies if send-read-receipt is set to on).

I don't believe it is directly related to Davmail.
