Some ideas to confirm the bug:

trace thunderbird and see if my hypothesis is correct
reproduce the issue on a controlled environment

Some ideas to "fix" the bug:

Implement BURL
Put a load balancer / proxy routing requests based on the IP address (or, harder, based on the login)
Implement read-after-write (I think it would mean tweaking opportunistic_sync)

...but the email is correctly saved. If you hit retry, you save the email twice... I think that Thunderbird uses one TCP connection to save the email, and another one to check if the email has been correctly saved. But we don't have "read-after-write" on different TCP connections I guess.
