How is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.
If you access those messages on the server using a browser to view the web mail page, are the duplicate messages present there as well?

If you change the selection above the folder list (now set to "Unified Folders) to "All Folders" does the duplication disappear from the message list display?

Try renaming the file panacea.dat to panaceadat.old in the Thunderbird directory -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

Have you tried deleting the duplicates of one such message to see what happens?
