Yes. Me to, I can confirm this problem migrating from 5.0.16 to 8.0.3. It is a zimbra bug, not a zmbkpose bug. Please, from your mailbox account in zimbra 7, go to preference, and use the mailbox export utility. Then, in zimbra8, from your mailbox, import the backup file two times. Important: note the "Solve problem of duplicates" option, and use "ignore". Check your mailbox for duplicates. If you have duplicate mails, then give me your exact zimbra version (source and target of migration) using (with zimbra user) the command: zmcontrol -v There is no a bug if you export and import on same zimbra version, but apparently, it is not working through zimbra versions. I going to post a request in zimbra forums with our information.
